Scope and Content Part of a collection of images from Dawkins' travel to Cappadocia and Pharasa between 1909 and 1911. The original description in the SPHS register reads: "Rock cut dwellings of Soandu [Soghanlü]".
Notes Date based on Dawkins' travel to Cappadocia to study Greek dialects between 1909 and 1911. In the introduction of his 1916 book A Modern Greek in Asia Minor ( p. 1), he mentions villages by the year he visited and plates at the end of the book are maps of the area. Written on the border: "No. 63". The image was used for the 1936 Exhibition of Minoan Civilization and the first 50 years work of the BSA at Burlington House in London (337c).
