Wrap-Up

Well the project is shutting down as of today, all of the finds have been processed and are packed to be delivered to the Corum Museum tomorrow morning and all of the workers are preparing to leave their home of one month. Considering this I thought it an appropriate time to address one of the most common questions I was asked before coming, namely what do you expect to find?
Well for the most part we found ceramics ranging from roof-tile to pithoi peices to Roman fine-wear with decoration or without we found hundreds of bags of ceramic peices. The next most common item we found were pieces of chipped stone in fact there was a workshop for chipped stone found on one of the hillsides which is littered with blades and other pieces such as negative flake scars.
Once we had moved from the intensive survey to the super intensive survey we began to find more interesting things Tesserae, colored pieces of glass used to make mosaics, pieces of marble faing and other worked architectural stone. n the extensive survey which I also took part in we found the most interesting pieces; column capitals bridge footings and Byzantine baptismal fonts.
Tomorrow I leave Mecitozu for Ankara and then to Istanbul I will continue updating as the oppurtunitites present themselves but this will be probably be less frequent than I update now.
