ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The project is, as always, enormously indebted to the Turkish 'Friends of Çatalhöyük' and its President Resit Ergener, especially in their support of the Turkish students at the site. The project operates with a permit provided by the Turkish Ministry of Culture, Directorate General of Monuments and Museums, and under the auspices of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara. The project owes much gratitude to Konya Museum and its Director Erdogan Erol.
