Abstract :The eighth season\'s work at Karatepe 1 lasted from September 3rd to November 12th, 19522. It was carried out under the auspices of the Turkish Historical Society and the Directorate-General of the Antiquities and Museums by a working party, under the direction of Professor Bossert, consisting of Dr. U. Bahadır Alkım, Dr. H. Çambel, Mr. Ali Caravella, expert in restoration, and Mr. Dursun Cankut, photographer. The objects in view were, first, to complete certain matters of detail for the forthcoming final publication (Excavations at Karatepe and Domuztepe, 5 vols.), and more particularly, to piece together and restore the fragmentary sculptures.
