Geophysical Survey
     Resistivity survey in the spring continues to produce valuable results and add clarity to the results obtained from previous gradiometer survey. Further survey will continue for a few weeks each spring, the exact duration depending on funding and weather.

     Excavations at Kerkenes
     Continued large-scale excavations within select urban blocks at Kerkenes Dağ will proceed over the next several years. The next goal is to select and then fully excavate a complete urban block within the ancient city.

     Transportation Studies
     The excavation of test trenches across city streets will continue in 2011 and 2012. This ongoing work tests the results of the computer simulations used to understand how the transportation network of the city functioned. It also provides a means to integrate information from excavations within different urban blocks within the city.

     Restoration Work at the Cappadocia Gate
     If more funding is available in 2011, the strengthening and enhancement project will be enlarged to include more of the gate structure. Strengthening is necessary to ensure both the safety of the building and that of the visitors. Possible strengthening methods in addition to partial rebuilding are being discussed, with reference to previous experience in other similar archaeological sites.
