First discovered in the 19th century, the remains of a Roman settlement at the site of Kue?uek Burnaz in the eastern area of ancient Cilicia, were investigated more fully in 1991 by the ?zgen/Gates survey. This volume presents an overview of this region of ancient Cilicia from the 1st century BC to the 14th century AD, providing the background to Tobin's discussion of the architecture, ceramics and small finds recovered from the site in the 1994 and 1995 seasons. The evidence suggests that the Roman settlement was most likely founded in the 1st century BC and was thought orignally to have lain on the coast, providing an important port for goods and troops entering and leaving the region.
