Abstract
Ankara University Excavations at Cesme - Baglararasi have been continuing uninterrupted since 2009. Excavations at 2012 focused on the area where the Middle Bronze Age fortification system was located. A new trench was opened in this area and levels dating to the end of the Middle Bronze Age (contemporary with Middle Minoan III) were investigated. 2012 excavations revealed for the first time, architectural features dating to the Level 0 (Late Bronze Age) at Cesme - Baglararasi. One of the most important results of the 2012 excavation season was the discovery of a volcanic ash layer c. 1,5 - 2 cm thick, just outside the fortification wall. The relationship of this volcanic ash layer to the eruption of Thera, will be the focus of the investigations in the following years.
