dc.descriptionDescription: Location: On west side of the road southeast of Karacasu, 1 km before turnoff to Bingeç, 10 km from Aphrodisias. Elevation 850 masl. Situated on two separate ridges between Hançam Musluğu and Hangediği among pine-forested hills. Quarries are in the same marble-rich zone as those at Ören, Çamarası, Kızıl Cağıl, and Nargedik. ** Number and dimensions of quarries: Quarry complex comprises three medium-sized and two small quarries spread over 0.06 km2. ** Geological age, grain size, and color: Mesozoic. White marble is medium to coarse grained with limited sections of a dark gray and white mottled marble. Lenses of fine-grained bluegray marble, visible at ground surface between Quarries 2 and 3 and on lateral face of Quarry 3. Roman quarries targeted white marble veins and avoided blue-gray lenses. ** Modern quarrying: Extensive waste from modern working in Quarries 1–4. Modern quarrying atop hill has completely destroyed possible evidence of ancient activity. Small modern house for workers located at bottom of quarries. ** Joints and quality of marble: Joint spacing ranges from 1 m to 2 m long and 0.8–4.5 m wide, sizes well suited to most architectural needs. ** Quarry organization and evidence for extraction: Complex in two districts. Quarries 1–3 are situated next to one another in south to north direction with Quarry 1 the highest. A well-preserved slipway leads from the base of Quarry 3 to the second district, Quarries 4–5 located lower on the northern ridge. Quarry 4 is a small pit below slipway, which originates at Quarry 5. Quarries 1–3 and 5 are long and narrow with rectangular faces. Spoil and modern blocks are deposited on the floors. The faces of Quarries 1 and 2 are well preserved and continue below the spoil level, making it difficult to ascertain original depth. Quarries 1–3 preserve the most separating channels of all regional quarries and are placed at angles that follow the natural joints. ** On the face of Quarry 2 (at a 45° angle), erratic pickmarks, surrounding by separating channels, suggest that quarrying was abandoned. ** Blocks: A broken block (H: 0.4, W: 0.2, D: 0.1 m) dressed with a point chisel is abandoned in Quarry 3. Blocks could have been worked either inside the quarry or at another staging ground.en_US
