Summary

This is the first of two volumes presenting the results of the Melbourne archaeological project at Pessinus in Central Anatolia. The opening chapters discuss the cult of Cybele, the Great Mother Goddess of Anatolia, Midas, the semi-mythical king of Phrygia and Pessinus, the relationship between them, Midas as seen from Assyrian sources, etc. Three others examine two Anatolian archaeological sites (Dorylaion and Zey) that have yielded comparative material and thus clarified the picture we have of Pessinus. Further chapters focus on Pessinus itself. The final chapter outlines the work of the previous excavators at Pessinus: a team from Ghent University. The volume is dedicated to the memory of the late Prof. Taciser Tuf̈ekci̧ Sivas, a contributor to it, who was not only one of the most prominent scholars of Phrygia but also a source of great help and encouragement to the project.
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).
