In 1997 we will have a study season during which odds and ends of survey and checking on the site will be carried out, the pottery from the test trenches will be processed and any outstanding conservation of objects from 1996 will be completed. The aim is to produce a book with dual English and Turkish text and high quality colour illustrations which will have both scholarly and wider public appeal. Detailed academic research reports will continue to be published in internationally recognised journals. In the years 1998-2001 we hope to conduct large area geomagnetic survey, perhaps combined with other geophysical methods, over some 2km2 of the ancient city (total area 2.5km2). It would be advantageous to put in fUrther test trenches in order to fully understand the geophysical maps and to ascertain the functions of different types of structure and the use of urban spaces.
