The excavations conducted by Theodor Wiegand on behalf of the Berlin Museums in Milet in Asia Minor rank among the great archaeological achievements at the beginning of the 20th century. In less than 15 years, Wiegand succeeded in bringing to the light of day again a whole city from antiquity with its streets and squares, its sacred sites and market-places, public buildings, sports facilities, baths and technical infrastructure. Wiegand also extended his researches to the surrounding countryside and neglected no epoch of the city's history. In 1906 he established the series publication Milet - Results of the excavations and investigations since 1899. The individual volumes - each complete in itself - deal with the buildings and monuments uncovered by the excavations; the studies also deal with the landscape of Milet and the surrounding countryside. While the series opened with details of the architectural monuments excavated, future volumes will focus on the individual finds from Milet, from the inscriptions to the lamps and the sculptures. The series is arranged by systematic criteria, and thus the volumes do not appear in chronological sequence.
