Ankara

First stop was Ankara, where we stayed for the night before departing for Gordion. I met up with the other conservation intern, a student from Buffalo State, and my supervisor, who is currently living in Iraq. Here are a few photos I took as we went about town, gathering supplies. 

A building along Ataturk Boulevard.

The Museum of Anatolian Civilization, where much of the Gordion materials are housed.

A vendor, selling dried fruit and nuts.

The chemical store. You can find many weird chemicals readily for sale, which is good for conservators, but strange nonetheless.
