dc.description	Description: The modern village of Yeniköy lies in the hills 7.5 km northeast of Aphrodisias. Two km north of the village is a large citadel or fortified settlement on a hill overlooking the deep gorge that separates the foothills of Baba Dağı from the main ridge running along the north side of the Morsynus river valley (1,252 masl). The entire site is bounded by a fortification wall, approximately 2.0m thick. None if is is preserved much above ground level, but nearly the entire course is traceable, with the exception of a short stretch along the lower slope to the southwest. No gate is seen, though there are at least 9 towers, some paired, and these may have flanked a gate. The better preserved towers are at the top of the slope to the northwest, and the corner blocks preserve drafted corners. No walls are visible in the interior of the settlement ** In addition to the drafted corners on the towers, the strongest dating evidence is supplied by ceramics, especially the earlier bowl rims, such as echinus rims, angled ledge rims, and plain steep walled rims. Other early finds include a body fragment of a gray ware fusiform unguentarium; a twisted handle perhaps from a cooking pan in very coarse fabric; and body fragments in LCW, but none in GCW. Slightly later finds include the rim from a flanged bowl. Chronological outliers include a fragment of a third- or fourth-century A.D. lamp with a molded convex disk with vegetal decoration, and the spout from an Ottoman water jug preserving some green glaze. Other finds include a large number of fragments of complex articulated roof tiles or terracotta ornament, and a remarkable amount of iron slag, some of it still containing significant amounts of iron. Iron slag and evidence of iron working are seen at many sites, but the highest concentration of evidence for iron working in the territory of Aphrodisias is found here. Occupation of this fortified town appears to span the Late Hellenistic through High Imperial periods, with the preponderance strongly weighted toward the earlier period.	en_US
