A tractor for the research project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KADD purchased a tractor and added it to the\nKarahantepe Research Project\u2019s equipment\ninventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobile reception has been restored<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KADD documented problems with Turkcell mobile\nservice at Karahantepe and in the surrounding area\non several days and at different locations. We\ncompiled phone service records from the Visitor\nCentre, excavation area and the vicinity of the\nExcavation House and Research Centre into a\nwritten request for a technical assessment and\nimproved coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A base station was subsequently installed near\nKarahantepe, resolving the reception problem. We\nare pleased to share this news after the difficulties\npeople experienced trying to use their phones at\nthe site. We thank Turkcell and everyone who\ncontributed to the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
