This is the second of two volumes presenting the results of the Melbourne archaeological project at Pessinus in Central Anatolia, believed to be the site of a shrine to Cybele, the Great Mother Goddess of Anatolia. The dozen chapters, all by team members, focus on the achievements of the 2009-2013 Pessinus field seasons: an overview, the pre-Hellenistic remains, the fortifications, a survey of Pessinus and its periphery, geophysics, pottery, coins, ‘wool basket’ stelai, church architectural stones, new inscriptions and new doorstones, concluding with a detailed report on the 2013 season (the last in the field before the project’s abrupt and premature cessation).
