Abstract
To protect ancient artifacts from the weather, as well as allowing both the archaeologists to operate in an all year round dig area and the visitors to appreciate at close distance delicate architectural features, Residency K-5 at Tilmen Höyük was covered with a lightweight temporary structure. The protective roof measures 200 sqm circa, has a rectangular shape, and is divided into three spans. Installing the shelter in area K-5 was without doubt the most delicate operation, anyhow the overall project had to be adequately adjusted on the spot to overcome environmental and logistical issues that were raised throughout the whole practical realisation of the structures.
