Description: Local Name: Işıklar Local Information: Işıklar Necropolis Latitude: 37.43.41.76 Longitude: 28.43.28.26 Elevation: 575m Axis: 284 degrees Dimensions: Dromos: W: 1.30m, pres. L: 3.94m, pres. H: 1.40m ** Height of wall to Springing: 0.75m Description: Built dromos led to rock-cut chamber tomb now collapsed and inaccessible. Walls of dromos built of fieldstones (marble, quartz, and schist). Dromos abuts on vertical native schist rock face, very narrow opening to chamber remains, or was perhaps made by looters. ** On same E axis as other tombs in necropolis. Revisited on 25 June 2007, substantial additional looting has taken place, but no additional architecture is revealed. Finds: Approximately 2m from tomb is a large worked schist slab possibly from the ceiling of a dromos (W: 1.16m, D: 0.49m; H: 0.12m)
