In 2002 the Kerkenes Project brought to a conclusion the remote sensing survey in which various methods, balloon photography, close contour GPS mapping and geomagnetic survey, have been used to reveal surface and sub-surface remains. Coverage extends over the entire area of this exceptionally large Iron Age capital which has thereby been revealed in remarkable detail. Geophysical survey will continue to play a role, albeit, much reduced in the next phase of research design at Kerkenes, but the great task of surface and sub-surface mapping is complete. In addition, excavations in the Palace Complex revealed architecture of quite unexpected sophistication while at the 'Cappadocia Gate' a section was cut across the entrance passage and part of the stone glacis was repaired.
