Yalburt Yaylası Archaeological Landscape Research Project by davidmorgan on Tuesday, 12 October 2010
(User Info | Send a Message)
"An archaeological field project exploring the landscapes in the broad vicinity of Yalburt Yaylası near Ilgın in Konya Province in Central Turkey by Brown University.

"The project had its first season of fieldwork between July 27 and August 23, 2010. It aims to examine diachronic change in the environment and archaeological landscape in the environs of the Hittite Sacred Pool Complex at Yalburt Yaylası in this little explored region of Anatolia. The area was elected for focused fieldwork as a result of several seasons of reconnaissance on Late Bronze (Hittite) and Early Iron age (Late Hittite/Phrygian) rock-cut monuments, sacred springs and caves, which constitute the special research focus for the project."

Nice to see the Megalithic Portal on their links page.
