CONCLUSIONS

The 2002 season was a milestone for the Kerkenes Project that was crowned by the successful completion of the geomagnetic survey of the entire site. The culmination of this effort, which has resulted in a complete set of geo-magnetic maps, was marked by celebrations for our tenth anniversary. This achievement has drawn on great dedication from many and would not have been possible without the resources that the project has built up, both in Kerkenes and at the Middle East Technical University (Figs 62 and 63). Thanks are due to all of our sponsors and friends who have helped in so many different ways. In these anxious times it is particularly difficult to procure adequate funding for the maintenance of an ambitious project that seeks to attain the highest possible standard of research on a significant scale. Discovery of the Ashlar Building (Figs 64 and 65) provides just a foretaste of the many secrets still to be revealed. As the Kerkenes research design progresses towards larger scale excavation and heritage preservation, it is appropriate to make an appeal for support that will bring the past back to life through exploration of the ruins of this once great city of the Anatolian Plateau.
