dc.descriptionDescription: Location: At the edge of the plateau south of Aphrodisias, along the road east of Nargedik village on the foothill of Yarıs¸alam Tepe. The water tank on Yarıs¸alam Tepe serves as a landmark for the southwestern part of the Morsynus river valley; 11 km southwest of Aphrodisias. Elevation ca. 815 masl. Quarries lie in the same marble-rich zone as Ören, Hançam, Çamarası, and Kizil Cağıl. ** Number and dimensions of quarries: Ten small pit quarries are spread over an area of 0.04 km2. Even the largest are quite shallow; additional smaller pits are identifiable as hollows filled with scrub oak. ** Geological age, grain size, and color: Mesozoic. Medium to coarse grained. White and white with intervals of gray. ** Modern quarrying: None. ** Joints and quality of marble: Joint spacing ranges from 0.5 m to 1 m, and mainly small to medium-sized blocks were extracted. Recent excavation of a water channel running from the water tank atop the hill to the village has churned up superficial deposits of pure white marble. The relatively poor quality of the stone presumably inhibited more extensive quarrying. ** Quarry organization and evidence for extraction: Evidence for ancient working is limited to three areas in Quarry 4 , where pickmarks and several wedge holes are visible. ** Blocks: None.en_US
