AbstractThis paper aims at providing a status quaestionis of the British Institute at Ankara's structure, remit and working-practices today, as well as offering an overview of the development it has gone through during its lifetime. The range of subjects and disciplines covered, as well as the diversity of projects supported today, clearly shows that the British Institute at Ankara (BIAA) has grown and developed considerably in the 60 years of its existence. Archaeological research is no longer concentrated mainly or exclusively on prehistoric or Byzantine sites, as in the early years of the Institute, even if these periods remain important areas of focus. Besides the excavations, the survey projects sponsored by the BIAA have built up a long and strong tradition, particularly of multi-period, regional landscape surveys. With these points of focus, the BIAA differs from other foreign institutes in Turkey.
