During 1993-94,
the “Cambridge team” made an accurate detailed topographic
map of the East mound. They also scraped the surface of a
40x40 meter area in the North part of the East mound, where
they were able to draw plans of Neolithic architectural features
at the surface of the mound. From 1995 until the present the
"Cambridge team" has been excavating in both this
area (referred to as NORTH) and the area originally
opened by Mellaart (referred to now as SOUTH).
Other research
teams have been added to the “umbrella” Çatalhöyük
Research Project, including, from 1996, conservation, survey,
palaeoenvironmental (KOPAL) teams, and a team
from the University of Thessaloniki, Greece (directed by Dr.
Kostas Kotsakis) (SUMMIT), from 1997 the BACH
team, and, from 2001, a team from the University of Poznan
(directed by Dr. Arkadiusz Marciniak and Dr. Lech Czerniak)
(TP) .
