dc.description | Description: Preservation: The conduit running along the west (right) bank of the Ören Deresi has been exposed where the stream has eroded the earth of the stream bank into which it was originally constructed. The conduit wall along the stream has collapsed, revealing the longitudinal section and cross section of the structure as well as the longitudinal section of a rectangular shaft rising from the vault of the conduit. ** Construction: The vault is made of a single layer of fieldstones with rubble packing on the exterior, all bonded with a beige lime mortar with small stone inclusions. On the interior surface of the conduit wall, a very hard mortar with a reddish orange color covers not the stones of the wall but their interstices. ** Description: The external dimensions of the conduit are 2.5 m high by 1.2 m wide. In cross section, the interior of the conduit is 0.50 m wide with a 0.30 m wide channel centered in the floor. The channel is 0.90 m in height, and the rest of the conduit rises another 0.90 m above the channel. The conduit side walls are 0.40–0.50 m thick. An opening in the roof of the vault leads to an inspection shaft that rises vertically from the conduit and is preserved to a height of 0.3 m above the vault. Both the opening in the vault and the shaft itself have interior width dimensions of about 0.9 m parallel to the conduit and 0.5 m perpendicular to the conduit. The well-preserved west wall of the shaft, which is built into the stream bank, is 0.65 m thick. The east walls of the shaft and conduit have collapsed. The shaft walls perpendicular to the conduit have damaged interior surfaces and a preserved thickness of 0.4 m. A single putlog hole, 0.15 m by 0.17 m, is located 1.05 m above the ledge in the interior west wall of the shaft. The conduit is filled with sediment to a height of 1.2 m. | en_US |
