The Kerkenes Project very fondly remembers Dr David Stronach, a leading scholar of the archaeology of the Middle East and an Associate Director of the Project from 1999-2003.  Dr. Stronach passed away on June 27th, 2020.  We will forever remember the important role he played during a very critical time in the development of the work at Kerkenes, along with his sage knowledge and wonderful company in the field.  He will be sorely missed.

Ortadoğu arkeolojisinin en önemli ve etkili akademisyenlerinden biri olan Dr. David Stronach, 1993-2003 yılları arasında Kerkenes projesinde yardımcı direktörlük yapmıştır.  Derin bilgisi ve harika varlığıyla o yıllarda gelişmekte olan Kerkenes projesine büyük katkıları olmuştur. 27 haziran, 2020 de kaybettiğimiz hocamızı sevgi, saygı ve minnetle anıyoruz.
