Turkey: The Rough Cilicia Regional Archaeological Research Project
"The Rough Cilicia Survey Team is investigating the role of Rough Cilicia as a production center for the ancient Roman Mediterranean economy. Our investigative methods include remote sensing of satellite imagery; surface, geomorphological, and maritime survey; charcoal analysis of ceramic production residue for timber identification; and biogeochemical analysis of regional terrestrial vegetation preserved in sediments. Work to date has identified crucial indicators of economic production activities associated with the renewable resource of timber (particularly cedar) from Cilician mountain forests. To refine this question, the project is examining the basin of the Bikici River (modern Gazipasha, Turkey) as a zone of ancient industrial development."
