Özet:

The Mastic of Chios (Sakız) Island: A Small-Scale Ottoman Agricultural Enterprise
Abstract  This study deals with the production of sakız (mastic) and its role in
the Ottoman agricultural sector. More specifically it examines its production as
a monopoly on the Aegean island of Sakız (Chios). The production of mastic on
the island is traceable from the period of the ancient Greeks forward. Throughout
history it was used in the making of perfume, as something that was chewed for
pleasure and at the same time in the production of alcholic beverages. In particular
it was a valuable and highly esteemed commodity throughout Europe and the
Eastern Mediterranean basin. Following the island’s incorporation into the Ottoman
polity, its mastic production was reorganized. However, the special status
of its mastic producing villages (located on the southeastern section of the island)
remained unchanged, and they continued to enjoy a monopoly over its production
and distribution. This status was not only maintained but strictly controlled by
imperial regulations.
