In 1990, fresh archaeological investigations were initiated in ancient Halikarnassos in collaboration between Odense University and the Archaeological Museum of Bodrum. While previous Danish surveys at Halikarnassos (1966-1977) concentrated on the town's most famous monument, the Maussolleion, the scope of the new project is broader. Its purpose is to obtain information about the town, -- about its street plan, public buildings, monuments, houses, inscriptions, pottery and other finds, dating from its foundation until Late Antiquity.
