dc.descriptionDescription: Preservation: The interior surfaces of the cistern have been coated in modern mortar to a height of 1.5 m above the current bottom of the cistern. ** Construction: The square cistern is constructed of coarsely worked fieldstones including limestone and quartz, at the top of which is a subashlar course incorporating some brick for chinking. The white mortar bonding the masonry has small stone inclusions. A staircase of marble blocks leads down to the bottom of the cistern. ** Description: The square cistern measures 8.3 on a side. According to a local informant, about 100 years ago a resident of Tavas built walls around the earlier structure to prevent animals from falling into it. Modern mortar, which is 1.5 m high along the interior walls of the cistern, covers a layer of older red-orange mortar with sparse, small stone inclusions, which seems to be a hydraulic lining for the original walls of the cistern. The local informant suggested the marble blocks of the staircase were brought here from the nearby ancient site of Bingeç (Plarasa).en_US
