| dc.description | Description: The site is located on the south side of the valley between the modern villages of Gökçeler and Yeşilköy, in rugged terrain where two additional settlements were discovered (C032, C033) within 3 km of each other. The settlement overlooks the Koca Dere, a seasonal torrent bed that carries runoff from the ridge to the southeast. The large Roman aqueduct that runs from the far side of this ridge to Aphrodisias passes close by, although none of these settlement sites appears to have been inhabited during the second century and later when the aqueduct was in use. ** The settlement occupies a level hilltop of approximately 85 m by 45 m, and contains two large buildings each with multiple rooms. The walls of the buildings are constructed of unmortared schist likely quarried from outcroppings nearby. At least nine rooms survive in the larger building, with an average room size of 5.0 m by 7.0 m. The second building consists of at least six rooms of comparable size, and the topography of the site suggests this was the full extent of these buildings. The walls are preserved to a maximum height of 0.50 m and are approximately 0.70 m thick. No other structures are identifiable, and there has been extensive illegal excavation across the site. ** There is evidence for at least two olive oil presses at the site. Two schist counterweight blocks survive in the larger building. There is also a schist socket block just west of the smaller building. Next to it is a press bed, which is the only block at the site carved out of marble. ** The datable pottery from this site is limited to the Hellenistic and Early Imperial periods. The cookware is of special interest. It consists largely of earlier LCW and includes an unusually broad selection of storage vessel and bowl rims, some of which are unknown from contexts at the city or elsewhere in the region. The general indication from the ceramics is that the site was largely or entirely abandoned by the Early Imperial period. It is possible, however, that after being inhabited year-round in the Hellenistic period, it was used only during production season in later periods. | en_US |
