Site Index of the Rough Cilicia Archaeological Survey Project

<p>The dataset includes approximately 150 sites surveyed during the course of the Rough Cilicia Archaeological Survey Project between 1996 and 2011. Site typologies range from urban sites to sherd scatters and threshing floors. Nicholas Rauh assigned the classification of a site if there were architectural features or a minimum of 100 sherds present. For each site the dataset presents the name of the site, the project code number, its general typology, and GIS references. The site names typically have their modern Turkish names according to available Turkish maps, or ancient name if known, such as, Selinus, Lamos, Iotape, Nephelion, Antochia ad Cragum, Kestros, Laertes. To cross-reference with early RCSP publications the site data also includes earlier codes based on the Turkish cadastral maps used during the survey. Descriptive names such as "Church Site," that were employed early on are also included. The dataset represents a list of the sites that to be treated eventually in the RCSP Site Catalogue. The GIS coordinates are given both in decimal degrees and as the UTM coordinates for zone 36 N.</p>
