Extract

A second season of work at Can Hasan took place between 10th September and 10th October with nine days at the end to complete the final cleaning of the site and the registering of the finds. As last year, we employed three trained men from Beycesultan and ten unskilled men from the village.

In addition to myself and my wife, the staff included Mr. N. H. S. Kindersley, field assistant; Messrs. R. Fonseca and I. Walls, architects; Mr. R. E. Oakley, field assistant; and Misses A. C. Cruikshank, C. MacLucas and A. Searight, pottery assistants. Bay Hayrettin Solmaz of the Konya Museum represented the Turkish Government.

5 This cutting away is particularly visible on the western side of the excavations. It appears, therefore, that the settlement grew outwards rather than upwards and hence the shape of the mound tended to become low and flat rather than high and narrow. It is clear that stratigraphically the layers of occupation will overlap each other rather than be superimposed directly one on top of another.

6 It is possible that the layers representing this phase of occupation lie further out towards the edges of the mound. The surface sherds (Fig. 5, nos. 15 and 16) are from J. Mellaart's survey (1958) and. are published here by his kind permission.
