Historico-Geographical Research of the Similarities of Fundamental Material Culture between South-West Asia and South-Eastern Europe.

西南亚和东南欧在早期都具有走廊的特征，这两个地区的种族和文化目前交叉通过。此外，东南欧曾被奥斯曼帝国统治约200年，这些地区的物质文化仍然有显著的相似之处。我们目前的研究目的是调查在这两个地区的基本物质文化中可能发现的受相互影响的相似之处。我们的研究小组覆盖的地区包括土耳其、南斯拉夫、保加利亚和湖南。从研究结果来看，总体上可以说，在东南欧，土耳其元素在南部更明显，而在北部更少。在南斯拉夫中部、南部和保加利亚，土耳其文化元素在民间器皿和服装中仍然存在，并明显可见，而在匈牙利，土耳其元素在哈布斯堡统治及其文化影响下被完全消灭，碾磨、纤维生产和浇水技术在使用中相当具有日耳曼性质。我们唯一一次发现的土耳其自然可能是一种由马驱动的诺里亚，但那是以保加利亚的名字命名的“布尔加轮”。

Both South-west Asia and South-eastern Europe have,form early times, the characteristic of a corridor, through which the races and cultures of these two areas passed cross-currently. And besides, South-eastern Europe having been once ruled for about 200 years by the Ottoman empire, there can still be seen a notable similarity in the material cultures of those areas. The aim of our present research was to investigate such similarities as was effected by mutual influences and as might be detected in the fundamental meterial cultures of these two areas. The areas covered by our research team included Turkey, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Hungary.From the results of the research, it is generally to be said that in South-eastern Europe Turkish elements are more noticeable in the south, but less in the north. In the middle and the south of Yugoslavia and in Bulgaria, Turkish cultural elements subsist and clearly noticeable in folk utensils and garments, while in Hungary Turkish elements have been completely wiped out under the Habsburg rule and its cultural influence, and milling, fiber-producing, and watering techiques in use there are rather of Germanic nature. Our single find of Turkish nature might be a horse-driven noria, but that was called "Bulgar wheel" named after Bulgaria.
