The
Kerkenes Project is directed by Geoffrey and Françoise Summers.
Fieldwork is carried out under the terms of Permits issued by the
General Directorate of Cultural Assets and Museums (formerly the General
Directorate of Monuments and Museums) on the recommendation of the
Research Committee of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara.
Professor David Stronach of the University of California at Berkeley
was an Associate Director between 1999 and 2003. Dr. Scott Branting,
now of the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago, and formerly
at SUNY Buffalo, is currently an Associate Director.
Collaborating
institutions are listed in Collaboration.
The Kerkenes Project is, of course, dependent on its patrons to all of
whom we extend our thanks and appreciation. Sponsorship comes in a
number of forms, grants from academic bodies, grants and donations
from organisations in Turkey, practical help and participation from
organisations in Turkey and contribution of various kinds from individuals.
Special thanks are due to the former longstanding Director, Dr. David
French, and another former Director Dr. R. J. Matthews, for constant
help and good advice.
