Gordion Site Conservation Program 2011 Field Report

As the Architectural Conservation Laboratory enters into its sixth year at Gordion’s citadel, it has developed model strategies to address structural instability and material degradation of the site’s major features. These methods of intervention have been implemented in 2011 at the monumental Early Phrygian Gate, the Terrace Building Complex, and the Megaron 2 mosaic pavement and are presented here in the Gordion Site Conservation Program 2011 Field Report. The experimentation and evaluation conducted during the program’s initial years have confirmed the success of new and traditional conservation methods at the site. These interventions continue to both clarify and define Gordion’s existing archaeological record while at the same time minimizing deterioration of the extant architecture.
