Activities during the seven-week season included systematic pedestrian and architectural surveys in the Hasdere Canyon (Adanda) and geoarchaeological research in Gazipasha. Joining the team this year were 10 PhD researchers and 15 student participants. The field-walking team consisted of Wandsnider, Rauh, Dr. Mette Korsholm (Davids Sammling Museum in Copenhagen), Prof.

The palynological analysis of surface samples from the Western Rough Clicia (Alanya, Gazipasa)
Journal of Black Sea / Mediterranean Environment, Apr 1, 2007

The localities of obtained surface samples are represented by three lagoonal areas in the Hacimusa, the Bickici and Delice River basins. Distribution of the pollen grains in Bickici and Delice Rivers differs from that which occurs in the Hacimusa River. Arboreal pollens are represented by Juniperus oxycedrus L. and Pinus in Hacimusa river as the highest value; whereas, Juglans reaches the highest values in Bickici and Delice Rivers.According to our preliminary evidence, two different vegetation types are in the study area. Eu- Mediterranian vegetation contains xsrophytic shrubs and evergreen vegetation (Pinus brutia, Quercus cocsifera and Erica, Artemisia) and Oro-Mediterranean vegetation includes decidious forest (Pinus nigra, Q. Cerris, Juniperus, Cedrus).

His publications, »Unpublizierte Inschriften Westkilikiens aus dem Nachlaß T.B. Mitfords« (1998) and »Repertorium der westkilikischen Inschriften« (with Stefan Hagel, 1998), remain fundamental to the understanding of social institutions and urban development in Roman Rough Cilicia. Our communication with Kurt Tomaschitz began in 2002, when he informed us that he was preparing a response to our on-line publication of the inscribed statue base that we located at Göçük village in 2000 <https://engineering.purdue.edu/~cilicia>. The base records a dedication by »the Demos of Juliosebaste,« thus confirming the existence of a community by this name in western Rough Cilicia. We discussed at length the problems raised by this inscription and remained in close correspondence with Kurt from then on. After he published his response in »Tyche« in 2003, we undertook the challenge of reconciling our initial interpretation of this dedication with his compelling, alternative point of view. Two years later Kurt agreed to serve as a co-organizer of the International Conference being organized in Lincoln Nebraska: »Rough Cilicia: New Archaeological and Historical Approaches«. When the participants of the conference assembled in Lincoln in October 2007, we were both saddened and alarmed to learn that Kurt's failing health had prevented him from joining us. His characteristically informative paper on Cilician piracy was read aloud by M. Hoff and will appear in the forthcoming conference proceedings. All the while the members of the survey team continued to develop the following essay, intended to summarize the most significant findings of our field investigations in western Rough Cilicia. As will become evident to the reader, Kurt's courteous and insightful recommendations prompted us to adjust our views about the foundation of Roman era Juliosebaste in western Rough Cilicia. Close analysis of a second inscription recovered by the team at Göçük and discussed below positively confirms Kurt's hypothesis that Juliosebaste was founded and sustained by local dynasts (client kings and queens), rather than by the Roman Emperor Augustus. Such was the nature of Kurt Tomaschitz' penetrating insight that his mere suggestion altered the trajectory of ongoing research efforts continents apart. Throughout our correspondence Kurt exhibited the kindliness, enthusiasm, and urbanity of a gentleman in every sense of the word. The members of the survey team express our sincere condolences to family, friends, and co-workers of Kurt Tomaschitz at the loss of so talented a scholar in the prime of his career. We take comfort in the fact that his substantial contributions will undoubtedly stimulate new directions in Rough Cilicia studies for decades to come.
Investigation of Late Roman Settlement on Dana Island, Bogsak Archaelogical Survey Project

Prof. Ayman Habib and Evan Flatt of CE used a drone to conduct LIDAR and camera mapping of the Late Roman harbor remains of Dana Island (approximately 250-800 AD). The remains, including vast quarry trenches and terraces of houses, cisterns, and churches, are covered in dense, nearly impenetrable garrigue brush, making standard architectural mapping laborious, inaccurate, and hazardous. The results of the LIDAR mapping should reveal a detailed map of obscured remains in real world coordinates, making it possible to map the remains virtually
