Abstract
Situated about fifteen miles north of Karaman the Kara Dagh is an isolated volcanic massif which rises out of the Lycaonian plateau to a height of nearly 7,000 feet. In the first decade of the century Sir William Ramsay and Gertrude Bell spent three seasons surveying the archæological remains in the area. These include a great number of Byzantine churches and monasteries which have earned the Kara Dagh the name of Bin Bir Kilisse (“Thousand and One Churches”). Apart from the churches, however, the two authors recorded a majestic Hittite monument on Kızıl Dagh at the northern edge of the massif, and other evidences of a longstanding occupation in pre-Byzantine times which suggested that the Kara Dagh might preserve the remains of a continuous succession of cultures.
