ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
At the Ministry of Culture and Tourism General Directorate of Cultural Property and Museums our thanks go to Murat Süslü, General Director, to Melik Ayaz, Director of the Excavations and Surveys Department, and their staff, as well as to the Ministry Representatives Çiğdem Demiroğlu and Serpil Ölmez. Thanks are also due to the Yozgat Director of Culture and Tourism, Lütfi İbiş, and to the staff at the Yozgat Museum, especially Director Hasan Şenyurt, who were most supportive. We are grateful to the Governor of Yozgat, Necati Şentürk, the Yozgat Mayor, Yusuf Başer, the Directors of the Provincial Authority, TEDAŞ, and Türk Telekom who, together with their staff, continue to support the project in many ways. We thank the Sorgun District Governor, Levent Kılıç, and Sorgun Mayor, Ahmet Şimşek, and their staff for continuing assistance and generous support.
The project falls under the auspices of the British Institute at Ankara, but does not qualify for funding. In Ankara the Middle East Technical University provides offi ce space for project research and publication work year-round while post-fi eldwork at the Oriental Institute in Chicago is directed by Scott Branting.
We remain deeply indebted to the people of Şahmuratlı Village and Headman Turan Baştürk for extending traditional Anatolian hospitality. We thank Mehmet Erciyas, the Kerkenes Guard, who has gone beyond the call of duty in the assumption of his responsibilities. Finally, to all the project team and employees from the village of Şahmuratlı, our heartfelt thanks. Little would have been achieved without their dedication, enthusiasm and hard work.
