The localities of obtained surface samples are represented by three lagoonal areas in the Hacimusa, the Bickici and Delice River basins. Distribution of the pollen grains in Bickici and Delice Rivers differs from that which occurs in the Hacimusa River. Arboreal pollens are represented by Juniperus oxycedrus L. and Pinus in Hacimusa river as the highest value; whereas, Juglans reaches the highest values in Bickici and Delice Rivers.According to our preliminary evidence, two different vegetation types are in the study area. Eu- Mediterranian vegetation contains xsrophytic shrubs and evergreen vegetation (Pinus brutia, Quercus cocsifera and Erica, Artemisia) and Oro-Mediterranean vegetation includes decidious forest (Pinus nigra, Q. Cerris, Juniperus, Cedrus).

Prof. Ayman Habib and Evan Flatt of CE used a drone to conduct LIDAR and camera mapping of the Late Roman harbor remains of Dana Island (approximately 250-800 AD). The remains, including vast quarry trenches and terraces of houses, cisterns, and churches, are covered in dense, nearly impenetrable garrigue brush, making standard architectural mapping laborious, inaccurate, and hazardous. The results of the LIDAR mapping should reveal a detailed map of obscured remains in real world coordinates, making it possible to map the remains virtually

It is strategically located ca. 2.5 km off the shores of the rugged mainland along an ancient maritime route. In 2016, the island was the subject of investigations by the Boğsak Archaeological Survey (BOGA). The pedestrian, architectural, and shoreline survey revealed a lower settlement along the northwestern shore and an upper settlement associated with a fortress on the south summit. The ceramic assemblage and the architectural remains in the lower settlement indicate that it was built in the Early Roman period and reached its largest extent in late antiquity, when four basilical churches were constructed. As such, it likely functioned as a maritime station offering various services to travelers. The fortress on the southern summit of the island, which has a much earlier history, was refurbished in late antiquity and received a basilical church.

Between 1996 and 2011, the RCSP successfully conducted thirteen field seasons (1996–2005, 2007–2008, 2011). The survey investigation strategically targeted three distinct landscape regions in the survey area: the urban sites, flood plains, and ridges along the coast (Coastal Regions, 1996–1999); the Midlands or “Mesogeia” (Adanda Canyon, Çoruş, and Kaledran Basin, 2000–2004, 2011); and the Gazipaşa Highlands (the Bıçkıcı Highland and the Taşeli Plateau, 2003, 2007–2008, 2011). In all, some 1000 hectares of Rough Cilician rural terrain were investigated, some 160 “sites” were inspected, and some 9400 fragments of pottery were processed (fig. 1). We are pleased to announce the publication of three separate RCSP archives online at Purdue University. These include the RCSP Ceramics Study Collection and the RCSP Context Pottery in Purdue University Research Repository (PURR), and the RCSP Annual Field Reports in e-Pubs.
