With the addition of blocks 174, 176 and 177 at the center of the city, and blocks 280 and 297 in the north, the documentation of the cultural entities of the historical town of Birecik is completed. With the addition of 265 inventory forms from the year 2003, a total of 718 inventory forms have been filled out in Birecik. Approximately 2000 digital photographs, 1050 black and white photographs and 36 color slides were taken during the fieldwork of 2001-2003.
