Fieldwork archives

This collection holds various documents of certain BIAA excavations and surveys mostly up to 1994, such as Beycesultan, Can Hasan, Taşkun Kale, Aşvan Kale and Tille. It includes log books, finds and conservation records, architectural and artifact drawings, photographs, research notes, correspondence and official documents. This collection also includes a photographic archive which contains predominantly black and white negatives and contact prints of certain BIAA projects. The majority belongs to the projects conducted by Alan Hall and by David French. There is also a large collection of slides from the Tille excavations and Ian Todd’s Central Anatolia survey. The photographic archive documents not only the field work but also the artifacts found during the work.
