Anastasian Wall Project and the
Water Supply of Constantinople
2000 Report
  
In July 2000 we continued the archaeological survey of the Anastasian Wall in Thrace and the Byzantine water supply system of Constantinople. This was our seventh season on the Wall and the emphasis of our fieldwork will now shift more emphatically to the Byzantine water supply system, with full publication of the results from the Anastasian Wall Project expected in 2001.

Work focussed on three principal areas during the three-week season:

i) The southern end of the Anastasian Wall west of Silivri, where detailed topographical and geophysical survey was undertaken.

ii) The area of the Büyük Bedesten Wall fort in the central sector.

iii) The Fildami open-air reservoir in Bakirkoy outside the Theodosian Land Walls of the city.
