As the excavations on Tavşan Adasi / Rabbit Island start to
wind down, I’ve attempted
a brief summary of the findings.

New Page Added – Excavations in 2005 and 2006
The new page
contains an interpretation of Uludağ University’s web reports of the 2005-2006
excavations cross referenced with an earlier version of the same reports downloaded
in 2007; I’ve also added a few photographs of the area taken in 06 & 07.
The web reports
only contain brief descriptions of the findings and I would love to get access
to the full excavation reports as there are more tantalising references to
finds which suggest a possible earlier period of occupation, but there is no
detail of the context in which they were found e.g. were the fragments of
obsidian tools, and the sherds of pottery dating from 740 – 700 BC found below
undisturbed layers of Hellenistic deposits.

New Page – Archaeological Survey 2004
Although certain areas of the
village have been subject to a state protection order for some time there seems
to have been no systematic or formal evaluation of the area until a survey was
undertaken in 2004.
New page Archaeological Survey 2004 describes some of the areas and findings
detailed in the survey report
