The Tay Project is an ambitious archaeological activity conducted in Turkey. It has documented 2,800 settlements in Turkey, which are described in English and Turkish. A useful feature of the site is its online archaeological word base. If you do not know the meaning of a Turkish term, you can type it into the search engine and the results will be given in English, French, and German.

(This word base is also available in print form, published in 2005 by Ege Yayınları.)
