The foundation cutting for the Maussolleion at Halikarnassos, known as the `Quadrangle', was re-excavated and measured during the campaigns of excavation in 1970, 1972-4 and 1976-7.
Under the auspices of the British Museum, C.T. Newton started excavations in 1857 on the site of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the sepulchral monument to the Carian ruler, Maussollos. This volume describes the foundations of the Mausolleion laid within the large, rectangular cutting in the bedrock and named 'the quadrangle' by Newton. In addition to architectural evidence of basic importance, its re-excavation by the Danish expedition in the years 1970-77 brought to light remains of Maussollos' tomb chamber and its treasures, among these the ornaments of gold plate and beads of semi-precious stones published in the present volume.
