The June-July special issue of Current World Archaeology Magazine is featuring all the latest archaeological news on Ancient Anatolia (modern day Turkey). The following is an excerpt from the article on Laodicea:

Yet more exciting excavations are taking place at the city of Laodicea, about 120km east of Ephesus, on the western border of the ancient Phrygian region of West Anatolia. Laodicea is well sited on a high plateau and surrounded by the rivers Lycos, Kapros and Asopos. Little wonder the city has an ancient history: our excavations in the area have revealed architecture, pottery, obsidian and flint stone finds dating back to the 4th millennium BC.
