The archaeological investigation of the Kalenderhane Mosque and its surrounding site, carried out in the years 1966 to 1978, are the most extensive ever made of a building complex in Byzantine Constantinople and one of the most extensive of its kind from the Byzantine period anywhere. The first volume of the fi nal report on the investigations, Kalenderhane in Istanbul: The Buildings, their History, Architecture and Decoration (Verlag Philipp von Zabern, 1997, Mainz) gives a full account of the findings, including an unknown Roman bath, two heretofore unknown church phases, the Byzantine name and exact date of the present building, and mosaic and fresco decoration of unique importance. This companion and concluding volume presents the archaeological evidence for the conclusions presented in the fi rst volume. It includes reports on stratigraphy (Striker & Groves), pottery and glass (Herrin, Toydemir & Sismanoglu), coins and seals (Hendy, Artuk & Nesbitt), architectural sculpture (Peschlow), brickstamps (Peschlow), and human skeletal remains (Angel & Bisel). In many respects the evidence is unique for Byzantine Constantinople and, accordingly, of singular importance.
