Kapru Kale Project

Photo research and documentation

That remote and hard accessible fortress Kapru Kale near the spring of the famous Thermodon is nearly unexplored. By launching this project we want to make this enigmatic place better known, and we intend to show the special significance of this site for our history.

We invite adventurous people who are interested in archaeology to take part in this new research project.

We are addressing local people who are living in the Samsun area, as well as adventurous people from farer away who are going to visit this fortress. Make own investigations there, take photos and send them to us. It would be a great assistance to us. These photos will be published on our web-site (with the name or pseudonym of the owner or anonymously if wished).
