Aphrodisias is one of the most important archaeological sites of the
Greek and Roman periods in Turkey. Excavations at Aphrodisias have been
carried out by New York University since 1961 and have revealed an
unusually well-preserved and picturesque ancient town. A survey of the
surrounding territory undertaken between 2005 and 2009 resulted in the
discovery of hundreds of new sites spanning three millennia of human
occupation in the region. This book presents the rich archaeological
remains of the countryside of Aphrodisias, ranging from isolated
farmsteads to fortified citadels, from burial mounds to marble quarries,
and from Roman aqueducts to Ottoman cisterns.
