In 2005 excavations began at the Roman-era city of Antiochia ad Cragum in western Rough Cilicia. Although scholarly interest through the past 100 years in the region was somewhat abundant, mostly it was confined to survey and epigraphical studies. No archaeological excavation had ever occurred. The onset of excavations in 2005 has brought about a wide array of historical and scientific methodologies to bear on understanding the story of this city. Since excavations began scholars and scientists are examining the city through its architecture, its ceramic production facilities, its water management system, and its cultural amenities such as its baths. Scholars are also looking at human bones to understand habitation and diet. Scholars are also looking at how early European travelers came to understand the site and recognized its location. Finally, we begin preparations to exhibit some of the most noteworthy elements of the city’s cultural heritage to visitors. This panel presentation offers glimpses into some of the various research programs on-going in the city. We hope that you will enjoy the day and come away with an understanding and appreciation for the work that is being carried out.
