Posted project update #2Maeander Project Cancellation
Post CommentTo our wonderful supporters,
Sadly, the Maeander Project is cancelled due to circumstances out of our control. We worked very hard on this project and are deeply grateful for your generous contributions and outstanding support. We will be trying again next year, after we come away from this experience with a lot of hard-won wisdom about the internals and politics of starting a new project in Turkey.
If I can ask one more thing of you, can you please fill out this very short, 5-question survey about your experience with microfunding archaeology.
Thank you,
Colleen & The Maeander Project Team

Posted project update #1Meet the Maeander Project Team!
Ruth Tringham Ph.D., is the Alice S. Davis Endowed Chair in Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley. After working on intensive, long term excavations in Serbia and at Çatalhöyük in Turkey, Ruth is exploring survey and landscape as the director of the Maeander Project. She is deeply interested in digital media and will push the project into new and interesting interpretive territory.
Burcu Tung Ph.D. is a lecturer at the University of California, Merced and a recent Ph.D. graduate from the University of California, Berkeley. She has extensive research experience in Turkey, and is a Turkish national. She is the Maeander Project co-director and is very interested in ethnography, history, and documentary film.
Dan Thompson Ph.D. is the Director of Projects at the Global Heritage Fund, and performed his dissertation research in the Dinar Basin in the project study area in 2008. He is deeply familiar with the chronology of the area and with new imaging technologies that allow us to find new sites with aerial photography and Google Earth.
Daniel Eddisford received his M.A. in Archaeology at UCL in 2010 after working as a professional archaeologist in England, Turkey, the U.A.E., Yemen, Qatar, Italy, and Greece for over a decade. He is the Maeander Project field director and pottery specialist.
Colleen Morgan is a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of California, Berkeley, where she is investigating the intersections between digital media and archaeology. She will be handling the bulk of blogging, photo taking, video-making, and, sadly, pottery washing.
John Lowe received his M.A. from the University of Texas and has been working as a professional archaeologist in Texas since 2004. He has extensive survey experience and will be happy to help out on his first project in the Old World.
Yasemin Özarslan is a Ph.D. student at Boğaziçi University in Turkey and has participated in a variety of excavations and survey projects across Turkey.

Ms. Morgan and Maeander Project Team,
No doubt we supports are sadden by the lost of your project. We all have such High hopes and are at a lost as to why the project was cancelled. I am sure if we all can next year we would support the Maeander's team again. It does not matter the amount or the source of our giving but it does comes from our hearts. I hope that counts for next year too. IF we are able, is there a Sister Archaeological Project that you or the team can suggest for those of us who can support them in lue of the Maeander Project> While most here know you or others on the team, others like myself only know of you and the team. Still, is there another Archaeological Projects some one can suggest since it is the truth of our history that should be the only concern and goal we are seeking? Many thanks and kindness offered freely ~~~ fred,
