| dc.description | Description: Well preserved underground chambers and superstructure; antechamber accessible and cleared to near floor level, main chamber filled; located on a level rise; about 150 m to the north, ground drops away toward a seasonal streambed. The remains of the superstructure are the most extensive of any tomb at Aphrodisias. The outer walls (e-w 11.55 m; n-s 8.45 m) are preserved in up to four courses of large petit apareil masonry, with the largest stones in the lower courses (H: 0.26-0.32 m, W: 0.56-0.06 m, D: 0.38-0.45 m). The eastern end preserves elements of a tetrastyle façade including: euthenteria blocks (H: 0.30 m, L: 0.43-0.70 m, D: 0.51 m) and stylobate blocks (H: 0.24 m), atop which are the two central pedestals (top 0.60 m square; shaft: 0.55 m square) with a further step (H: 0.24 m, D: 0.30 m) between them. Architectural blocks atop the eastern end of the tomb include a smoothly finished Attic Ionic column base (diam.: 0.525 m) that would fit atop the pedestals, and an architrave (L: 2.40 m) the same length as the intercolumniation between the two pedestals. In the field boundaries nearby to the southeast are further blocks that could pertain to the structure including a monumental crowning molded block, a second architrave, a doorjamb, a fluted double capital, wall blocks with dowel holes and swallow-tail clamp cuttings, and fragments of monolithic columns. The one accessible vaulted underground chamber (n-s 6.95 m, e-w 1.89 m) is well preserved to the south and partially collapsed to the north, and cleared to within 2.60 m of the vault. It is the antechamber to the primary burial chamber, and was accessed by a doorway (W: 0.76 m) through the south end of the west wall. The main tomb chamber was reached through a central doorway (W: 0.76 m) also in the west wall (Th: 0.80 m); both openings have flat lintels. The regularly coursed petit appareil blocks are heavily mortared, and the mortar beds are occasionally scored. The lower half of the vault appears to be built from corbelled petit appareil blocks, while the upper half is a mass of heavily mortared rubble and radially placed flat stones. Three evenly spaced windows pierce the east wall of the antechamber. The openings (H: 0.45-0.54, W: 0.38-0.43 m, D: 1.13 m) extend from the intrados of the vault up through a slit in the center of the rising face of the stair blocks in the east façade. Also on the eastern wall are four small niches in the spaces between and below the widows; they are similar to put log holes, except that there are no corresponding holes in the western wall. They could have been shelves for small oil lamps. ** The immediate field boundaries are approximately aligned with the tomb; some pottery and tile fragments are seen in the field to the north. | en_US |
