Milet. Feldforschungen im Latmos / Die karische Stadt Latmos

The excavations conducted by Theodor Wiegand on behalf of the Berlin Museums in Milet in Asia Minor rank among the great archaeological achievements at the beginning of the 20th century. In less than 15 years, Wiegand succeeded in bringing to the light of day again a whole city from antiquity with its streets and squares, its sacred sites and market-places, public buildings, sports facilities, baths and technical infrastructure. Wiegand also extended his researches to the surrounding countryside and neglected no epoch of the city's history. In 1906 he established the series publication Milet - Results of the excavations and investigations since 1899. The individual volumes - each complete in itself - deal with the buildings and monuments uncovered by the excavations; the studies also deal with the landscape of Milet and the surrounding countryside. While the series opened with details of the architectural monuments excavated, future volumes will focus on the individual finds from Milet, from the inscriptions to the lamps and the sculptures. The series is arranged by systematic criteria, and thus the volumes do not appear in chronological sequence.

This is the first volume in a series of settlement studies which aims to document all the visible memorials above ground in Herakleia at Latmos and the attendant area from pre-historic times up to the Osmanian era. Peschlow-Bindokat presents the results of her field studies in the Carian city of Latmos. There is a precise and detailed description of the fortifications, the internal construction, the area outside the city walls, and the necropolis of Latmos. The study is complemented with numerous illustrations, a catalogue of the dwellings, and an essay on the coins of Latmos. The volume continues the tradition of systematic exploration of Latmos established by Theodor Wiegand in 1905 in the context of his excavations of Milet.

Zusammenfassung
"[...] the author has provided an excellent basis and suggested numerous approaches for continuing discussions in various directions." Oliver Hülden in: Ancient West & East 8/2009 "Der Band ist ein Musterbeispiel für die gelungene Gesamterforschung einer antiken Siedlung nur mit Mitteln der Oberflächenerkundung, ohne Grabungen. [...] Organisation, Aufbau und Ausstattung des Buches sind vorbildlich, die Sprache klar und prägnant." Wolfgang Radt in: Gnomon 5/2007
