| dc.description | Local Name: Ciğlek Deresi | en_US |
| dc.description | Local Information: The bridge, conduit, and tunnel are located on a small gully branching off the east side of the Ciğlek Deresi, a dry dere that runs north–south and connects to the Kepiz Çayı to the south. The Ciğlek Deresi forms the western limit of the Yahşiler plateau. The remains are located 4 km southwest of the modern village of Yahşiler, 2 km southeast of the modern village of Yeşilköy, and 16 km southeast of Aphrodisias. | en_US |

| dc.description | Description: Preservation: The bridge that crossed the small gully north of the conduit no longer stands (E034), but a cross section of the foundation, floor, and lower portion of the side walls of the conduit itself is preserved in the south hillside of the gully (E035). The entire conduit is preserved inside the subterranean tunnel for 22 m, at which point the vault has collapsed. A short segment of conduit is preserved after this collapse, but a second collapse seals it off completely. ** Construction: Nothing can be said about the construction of the bridge that no longer stands (though see the projected original dimensions below). The conduit is a vaulted masonry structure built of regular blocks of the local sandy conglomerate rock, bonded with pink-beige lime mortar with densely packed stone inclusions smaller than 0.01 m. The blocks are 0.10–0.40 m long, 0.16–0.20 m high, and ** 0.15–0.20 deep. Mortared rubble packing supports the exterior of the side walls and vault. The conduit floor also rests on a foundation of mortared rubble of smaller stones that is 0.30–0.35 m thick. The foundation is topped by a bedding of white-gray lime mortar ** with densely packed stone inclusions smaller than 0.01 m. The mortar bedding is 0.25 m thick under the center of the conduit floor but tapers to a thickness of 0.10 m about 0.20–0.35 m from both edges of the floor. On top of this bedding is a very thin layer, 0.001 m thick, of pink waterproofing mortar. On top of the pink waterproofing mortar is a layer of sinter, 0.05 m thick. ** Description: The bridge must have originally been 5.5 m high, 3.8 m wide, and 8.0 m long. The interior of the conduit is 1.50 m wide and has a reconstructed height of 2.25 m. Where the side walls are visible, they are 1.15 m wide (east) and 1.18 m wide (west). The portion of the conduit that has collapsed is 6.7 m long. The preserved conduit within the hillside, which includes a 125° bend, can be divided into three segments according to differences in masonry. The first segment (as one enters the conduit from the north) is 8 m long on the outer side wall (west) of the bend and 7 m long on the inner (east) side wall, which is executed more sharply than the gently curving outer side wall. In this segment the vault is built of rubble masonry bonded with beige-pink lime mortar with small, loosely packed stone inclusions. A seam separates the rubble-vault segment from the next segment, which is 8.8 m long and has a vault built of the same regular blocks as the side walls. The third segment has a vault of regular blocks, a portion of which has been rebuilt in rubble masonry with white-blue lime mortar with large, densely packed stone inclusions, most between 0.005 m and 0.012 m. The stones of the rebuilt portion are placed lengthwise across the width of the conduit and have a level profile, making it not a true vault at all. The putlog holes of the conduit are located at different heights within the three segments. They are located one course lower in the regular-vault segment than in the other two segments. The putlog holes of the rubble-vault segment are set at intervals ranging from 0.35 m to 1.40 m in no clear pattern and are matched only roughly in pairs across the conduit. The putlog holes are set at shorter intervals at the inner part of the conduit curve. In the regular-vault segment, the putlog holes are set at intervals ranging between 0.40 m and 2.90 m, and are not matched across the conduit due to the bend. In the "false"-vault segment, the putlog holes are matched in pairs across the conduit, but those on the northeast side wall are located about 0.14 m below those on the opposite side wall. | en_US |
