dc.descriptionLocal Informant: Mehmet Yilmazeren_US
dc.descriptionLocal Information: There used to be an inscription above doorway, but it has been removed. According to Mehmet, the track passing by the cistern is the old caravan trail which ran from Bozdoğan to Tavas, and the cistern was placed there for that reason. The road was used until the 1970s. The cistern is located on the Bingeç plateau, 2.3 km southwest of the modern village of Yaykin and 19 km southwest of Aphrodisias.en_US

dc.descriptionDescription: Preservation: The inscription above the doorway has been lost. ** Construction: The cistern is a composite structure formed by a cylindrical drum on top of which rests a dome. The cistern is built of mortared petit appareil masonry bonded with a considerable amount of brick infill. The dome is constructed almost entirely of small blocks of schist with a few bricks. ** Description: The drum is 2.65 m in height and approximately 10.6 m in diameter. The dome contains an oculus with a diameter of 1.55 m. Inside, the current floor of the cistern is 1.4 m below the ground level outside. A doorway and two windows pierce the drum. The window opposite the doorway is 0.40 m wide and 0.48 m high. At the same height of the windows are situated two putlog holes centered on the east and west sides. Two circles with diameter of 0.25 m are inscribed on either side of the lintel of the doorway. On the east side of the cistern there is a small channel for water, 0.27 m wide and 0.40 m high, located at ground level.en_US
