THE URBAN SURVEY

Completion of the Geomagnetic Survey
The geomagnetic survey was completed in 2002 (Fig. 9). Since our first tentative steps we have mapped more than 2 square kilometres using Geoscan FM 36 fluxgate gradiometers, taking four readings per metre at one-metre traverse intervals (Fig. 11). Only the Kale and the Kiremitlik, where Byzantine and other remains obscure Iron Age structures, were omitted (Figs 17, 21, 23a, 24a, 25 and 26). When Lewis Somers of Geoscan started us off in 1993 none of us imagined that in our tenth season we would complete a magnetometer survey of the entire site.

Other news includes the award of a scholarship to Nahide Aydin to read for an MSc in geophysics and anthropology at the University of Mississippi. Nahide has been a central pillar of the Kerkenes Project, coordinating the survey and training local workmen. Mark Francis has completed outstanding data processing and has also created an archive of both the raw and processed data.

Resistivity Survey
Following the excellent 2001 results in the lower area of the city, a large portion of a three-week spring season in May and the earlier part of the main summer season in June was given over to extending the resistivity survey (Fig. 10). Before the soil dried out exceptional results were obtained in relatively stone-free areas (Figs 12, 14, 18, 22, 23b and 24b). At a maximum of eight grids per day it would take more than 100 years to make a complete resistivity survey, so it is perhaps no bad thing that most of the site is unsuitable!

Geographic Information Systems, GIS
Scott Branting, now a graduate student at the Department of Anthropology, SUNY Buffalo, and a member of the Kerkenes team since 1994, has become an Associate Director of the Kerkenes Project. Scott, whose special contributions lie in GIS and Remote Sensing, completed the close contour GPS survey in 2001 and has since been able to scale, mosaic and overlay the colour slides taken from balloons in the first two seasons. He is currently developing research into GIS applications and transport modelling systems at Kerkenes. Nurdan Atalan, who has assisted Scott since 1998, is now coordinating the building of the GIS database at the METU Project Office. ESRI and ERDAS's generous provision of ArcGIS and ERDAS Imaging enables the Kerkenes Project to remain at the leading edge of innovative research.
