This is the second of six volumes which presents the results of excavations from 1963 to 1974 in the Elmali plain, about 70 kms east of Antalya in modern Turkey. This volume examines the architecture and arrangement of the Karatas settlement which surrounded a fortified central complex (Elmali-Karatas I) and was itself surrounded by an extensive cemetery (to be published as Elmali-Karatas IV). It is a factual account of the architectural and artifactual data but contains much raw material of major theoretical interest: the accurate recording of artifact distribution in houses of the classic Troy I/II megaron plan is sure to be of particular interest and brings the site fully into the West Anatolian system, despite its somewhat isolated modern location.
