PAST AND FUTURE PLANS

The completion of the GPS topographic survey in 2000 and the anticipated completion of the geophysical survey in 2002 will provide the Kerkenes Project with a full set of data which is already being used to study the ancient city and its urban dynamics. GIS is a powerful tool which enables the management and combination of this data.

Further information and understanding, which will assist in the interpretation of the remote sensing results, will be forthcoming through excavation of precisely targeted areas. In 2001 a new field laboratory, workroom and depot was built, thus placing the Kerkenes Project in a strong position from which to request a full excavation permit.
