Kireçtaşı, Diyorit ve Radyolarit: Limyra Güneybatı Türkiye Buluntusu Pişmiş Toprak Objelerin İlk Petrografik Analizleri

Abstract

During the archaeological excavations that have taken place in the ancient city of Limyra in Eastern Lycia since 1969, a number of spectacular individual finds have been made including the Heroon of Perikle, a local ruler of the city in the 4th century B.C.1, a ruler-cult building for the Ptolemaic dynasty dating to the early 3rd century B.C.2, and the cenotaph for Gaius Caesar, the grandson and adopted son of Augustus who died in Limyra in 4 A.D.3. In addition, numerous structures of the Roman Imperial and the Byzantine periods 1st century B.C. to 7th century A.D. have been discovered, as well as valuable evidence regarding nearly every aspect of civic life and funerary practices during all phases of the settlement
