The Dig on Ephesus:
- "The British engineer J.T. Wood directed the first archaeological investigations from 1869 onward, under the auspices of the British Museum, D. G. Hogarth continued the excavations, and Wood's quest for the Temple of Artemis, from 1904 onward.
- The excavations of the Austrian Archaeological Institute, which continue to this day, began in 1895 under Otto Benndorf. - In the acrhaeologists of the Ephesus Museums' intensive work since 1954, they have uncovered and restored important structures. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism accelerated this cooperative work in 1979 through its program 'Selcuk-Ephesus Excavations, Restorations, and Systematization of its Environs.'" (Ephesus!
