The Knidian Territorium I

The Doric Temple of Apollo at Emecik 

Archaeological Investigations (1998-2006)

This volume aims to present assessments regarding archaeological stratification, architectural features and archaeological findings derived from excavations campaigns between 1998-2006 with Prof. Dr. Numan Tuna as the scientific director. Initial publications of The Sanctuary of Apollo at Emecik contain preliminary results of studies and some selected topics. Figurines, pottery, metal objects, coins and epigraphy revealed during 1998-2001 excavation seasons have been previously published by Dr. D. Berges in 2006, therefore excluded from this volume. The scope of the volume we are presenting here, titled ‘The Doric Temple of Apollo at Emecik, Archaeological Investigations (1998-2006)’ is to provide extensive evaluation of excavation strategy, cultural deposits, architectural features, and small finds including figurines, pottery, metal objects etc., excavated between 1998-2006, as well as a consolidation proposal for the Doric Temple and results of archaeometric studies. 

The Doric Temple dedicated to Apollo is located at Emecik, eastern part of the Knidian Territorium (Fig. I.3). The temple was initially investigated by a joint team of Turkish-German scholars between 1988-2002, followed by research by Middle East Technical University at Ankara as a recovery mission for the temple (2003-2006).
