Some preliminary conclusions and individual discoveries from the first four seasons of a survey in the province of Adıyaman are presented here. Initial inspiration for this project grew out of the Institute's excavations at Tille Höyük and the realization that Tille and other excavations in the Lower Euphrates Rescue Project were beginning to provide the kind of precise ceramic sequence which had not hitherto existed for the region. An element of urgency was introduced by the imminence of flooding up to the 550 m. contour by the creation of a huge reservoir above the Atatürk Dam. Consequently a permit to carry out a survey of all archaeological remains in the province was applied for and granted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. During the four seasons, 1985–1988, which have taken place so far, our effort has been very largely directed towards a detailed investigation of that area on the west bank of the Euphrates which will be flooded (Fig. 1). At least one further season is required to complete this examination. To this end, part of the Euphrates valley and one tributary system were the focus of attention in the 1985–1987 seasons (Fig. 2).

Exeter Bishop’s Palace

Routledge eBooks (2017)

Stuart Blaylock

The palace of the bishops of Exeter occupies a large precinct within the city wall, south-east of the cathedral, with smaller plots occupied by cathedral clergy framing it to the north-west and south-east. The 1647 parliamentary survey records in considerable detail the medieval palace broadly at its greatest extent. This survey was made in the context of the sequestration of episcopal property during the Commonwealth, prior to the disposal of the building. Modern research on the palace still rests on the shoulders of Prebendary J. F. Chanter's fundamental treatment of its history and development. Some modern archaeological recording of the building was possible in 1985, during a programme of refurbishment in the interregnum between Bishops Mercer and Thompson, and at this time the processes by which the medieval great hall had been divided up in the mid-seventeenth century were understood for the first time.
