dc.descriptionDescription: Preservation: The cistern has been reused and is relatively well preserved. ** Construction: The cistern is a composite structure formed by a polygonal drum on top of which rests a dome. It is built of petit appareil masonry using fieldstones with brick infill. ** Description: The cistern has a polygonal footprint, unlike the round cisterns documented at Tepecik and Tekeliler, and is roofed with a dome covered with a layer of modern white cement. The polygonal drum on which the dome rests is about 1.5 m high and has 19 sides ranging from 1.6 m to 1.7 m long. The doorway built into this substructure is 0.7 m wide and faces west. The doorway is constructed of reused marble blocks for jambs topped with an arch of fieldstones. There is a recessed niche on the left interior wall of the ** doorway (as viewed from the outside).en_US
