ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
     Our thanks go to the General Director, Orhan Düzgün, and staff of the General Directorate of Cultural Assets and Museums and to their representative, Şaban Kök, for their support and good advice. Thanks are also due to the Yozgat Director of Culture and Tourism, Bahri Akbulut, and to the staff of the Yozgat Museum, especially Acting Director Hasan Şenyurt, who were most supportive. We are grateful to the Governor of Yozgat, Amir Çiçek, the Yozgat Mayor, Yusuf Başer, the Directors of the Provincial Authority, TEDAŞ, and Türk Telekom, and their staff who continue to support the project in many ways. We thank the Sorgun District Governor, Ertuğrul Kılıç, and Sorgun Mayor, Ahmet Şimşek, and staff for their assistance and generous donations in kind. The project comes under the auspices of the British Institute at Ankara (BIAA) and is provided with facilities in Turkey but does not qualify for funding. In Ankara the Middle East Technical University provides project office space for research and publication work all year round while in Chicago at the Oriental Institute post-fieldwork is directed by Scott Branting.
     We remain deeply indebted to the people of Şahmuratlı Village and Headman Turan Baştürk for extending traditional Anatolian hospitality. Mehmet Erciyas, the Kerkenes Guard, has gone beyond the call of duty in the assumption of his responsibilities. Finally, to all the team, the house staff and employees from the village of Şahmuratlı, our heartfelt thanks. Little would have been achieved without their dedication, enthusiasm and hard work.
