B058: Architectural Blocks recut as Agricultural BLocks

A020: Taşoluk Sanctuary Cross Panel in Ataköy

Local Name: Ataköy, mayor's mother's gardenLocal Informant: Halil YorukLocal Information: The mayor of Ataköy says that the marble panel and the inscribed marble block in his mother's (Hatice Yoruk) yard were brought there by the his youngest brother from Taşoluk, near Tekcam on the Babadağı ridge, where there are many other similar fragments and the ruins of a church. ** Hatice Yoruk told us that her youngest son brought these pieces from Giranye (Hisar) about a year ago when he built a bathroom in the garden. Hatice teyze is seventy-three years old and in a perfect physical condition. However she lost her hearing after she had meningitis.

D119: Geyre Cemetery Tomb 3

Local Name: Aphrodisias, Northeast NecropolisLocal Information: Old Geyre Cemetery in use at least up to 2003Latitude: 37.42.41.7Longitude: 28.43.50.6Elevation: 534mAxis: SouthDescription: Well preserved; entirely cleared by the museum. The tomb chamber (L: 3.17 m, W: 2.82 m) is covered by a barrel vault, which is partly collapsed at the southern end. Neither threshold nor lintel is preserved, but the doorway in the south wall was 0.85 m wide and the wall 0.58 m thick. The tomb entrance is preceded by a forecourt (W: at least 2.50 m, L: at least 1.30m); the western wall is roughly aligned with the western wall of the tomb chamber. The walls of the chamber are built of regularly coursed marble petit appareil masonry in 10 courses (blocks H: 0.16 to 0.28 m). The mortar beds are scored and significantly overlap the edges of the stones. Many blocks have split faces, and where the break is especially smooth the surface has been roughened with a point chisel. The front wall and side walls do not appear to be bonded, and the coursing does not align. The side walls and the back wall are bonded for their lower two-thirds, then the rising back wall fills in the space below vault. The construction of the lower half of the vault is continuous with the walls, however the stones (H: 0.12-0.18 m; L: 0.30-0.40 m) are corbelled rather than laid radially. Where the vault is broken away to the south, the structure of the upper part is seen; the split voussoirs are relatively long and thin (L: 0.27-0.34 m, W: 0.07-0.13 m) and set between thick mortar beds. The lower surface of the vault is thickly mortared, and a clay pipe pierces the ceiling about 0.95 m from the north wall. The area of the floor is evenly divided into three cists (L: 1.85 m, W: 0.74 to 0.80 m). Sections of the cover slabs over the central and northern cists remain in situ (schist, northern: L: 1.15 m, W: 1.85 m, Th: 0.14 m; gray marble, central: L: 0.50 m, W: 1.14 m, Th: 0.15 m). The central is 2.25 m below the vault, the same level as the bottom of the doorway, and the cover of the southern cist would have been at this same level. The northern slab is higher, at 1.72 m below the vault. The dividing wall between the central and northern cists is thicker in the lower part to provide a shelf for the central cover slab (lower 0.45-0.46 m, upper 0.35-0.36). An upper cist may have been built atop the existing northern cist; a narrow schist shelf for the support of an upper cover slab projects from the northern wall 0.74 m above the northern cover slab, and an opening (H: 0.47 m, W: 0.79 m) was built into the upper part of the dividing wall between the central and northern cists which would have allowed continued access to the lower northern cist after the upper had been built. A patch of plaster preserved at the southern end of the western wall only continues as far as the location of the cover slab of the southern cist, indicating that the wall was plastered after the first burials were completed.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/92841/1/D2007.0552.JPGhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/92841/2/D2007.0553.JPGhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/92841/3/RS48.JP
