Acknowledgements
For the appropriate official permissions to excavate and survey, we would like to thank the General Directorate for Cultural Heritage and Museums, of the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Without the administrative and logistical assistance of the Milet Museum of Archaeology and its employees and members of the Didyma excavation team, the fieldwork would never have been possible or been so successful. We also warmly thank our students, workers and their families for their commitment through heat, wind and weather.
