Ilker MimiroğluGUEST
First, we know the location of the church at the beginning of the excavation, because the Kronen articles say that, and we can see that some stones of abscess can be seen first.

Ilker MimiroğluGUEST
And we choose the location first and start the excavation, but we understand that it is not a small church, because the articles say that it is not a very big church.

Ilker MimiroğluGUEST
And then second season, we understand inside the church, in the Seljuk period, a small chapel built in the center of the church.

Ilker MimiroğluGUEST
And now we cannot finish the church excavation because the church courtyard is going to the west and we are trying to complete the excavation of the church.

If everything goes perfectly, you have all the money that you would want as an archaeologist, we hope, in a perfect situation, if we come back in ten years to Lystra, what will it be like? What are you hoping for?
