Preliminary Report of Knidos Excavations 2018

In the seventh season of the excavations we have carried out in Knidos, excavations were carried out in important regions and structures of the city. During the 2018 excavations, drilling was carried out in the arrangement named "Apsis 1" in the western parados section of the Little Theater. In this study, which is very important in terms of the construction phases and techniques of the Little Theater, the basic level of the theater was reached and this level was revealed to the ceramics and other finds dating from the 3rd century BC to the 2nd century BC. Excavations have been continuing since 2016 in the area named East of Liman Street, another study area. In these studies, it was first used as a row of shops in the East of Liman Street in the Late Classical - Early Hellenistic Period, then the shop function was preserved again in the Roman Imperial Period, but the form and function of some spaces were changed and the last there is a complex used as a workshop / atelier and warehouse. During the 2018 excavations, three new additional rooms were found to the east of the first two rooms of the complex. Excavations have resulted in very good contexts regarding the abandonment of these three new sites, the complex and Knidos.
