https://doi.org/10.34780/4zapd336
Abstract
The 2022 campaign focused on activities in Pergamon and the surrounding area as part of the research program »The Transformation of the Pergamon Micro-Region between Hellenism and Roman Imperial Period« (TransPergMikro). This included, among others investigations at the Great Gymnasium of Pergamon and excavations in a late antique peristyle building east of the Red Hall. The extension of the micro-regional survey to the east of the city hill of Pergamon led to the discovery of an astonishingly dense rural settlement as well as rock sanctuaries, necropolises, and two extensive quarries. Conservation, presentation of the ruins at Pergamon, and training of the labour force were further foci of activities.
