Abstract

This is the first in a series of articles to appear in Archaeology International highlighting the Institute of Archaeology’s involvement in the Çatalhöyük Research Project. In this first piece, the Institute’s teams are introduced and their research areas briefly outlined, with the aim of showing the range of work that Institute researchers and students undertake. Future issues of Archaeology InternationaI will provide a forum for individual teams to expand on their results from Çatalhöyük.
