This report should really have appeared in Anatolian Studies XVI (1966). Dis aliter visum. During the autumn of 1965 and the first half of 1966 the present writer was either ill or in hospital, and so unable to work to any purpose.

After a fallow season in 1964, excavations at Alahan were resumed in 1965 between the 26th June and the 21st August, a period of exactly eight weeks. The average number of men employed was twenty-five. The Director was again in charge, with Mr. R. P. Harper as his deputy. Mr. G. Bakker again acted as our architect, while Mrs. Bakker dealt with small finds and conservation. Field assistants were Miss Margaret MacDonald, Messrs. T. B. Mitford (Institute Fellow for 1964–1965) and Anthony Ray. Towards the end of the excavation Mr. J. W. Hayes visited the site to advise on pottery and coins, while Miss Margaret Ramsden assisted in the tedious but skilled task of cleaning up skeletons for photographing.
