Since the director of the excavations, Dr. Tahsin Özgüç, was in England, The Turkish Historical Society decided not to excavate in 1951 and sent me to the site to do some cleaning and study. Moreover, that year the Department of Antiquities, which had previously giyen money to buy fields, gaye us money also for excavation. The staff consisted of: Dr. Kemal Balkan (as Philologist) MahmuT Akok (as Architekt) Burhan Tezcan, Neriman Tezcan assistants, Dursun Cankut photographer, Abdullah Gök restorer, and me. We worked from August 22. to September 28. The excavations turned out to be very worthwhile for the Museum and had important archaeological and philological results
