Archaeological Survey

  • Türkiye
  • Adıyaman Province

Summary

  • This survey began in response to the construction of the Ataturk dam, which was going to flood the survey area. Additionally, the area had only been been surveyed extensively during summer months when there was a great deal of vegetation covering the ground, so an intensive survey during cooler months produced a large body of new data.
