Abstract
This article focuses on the ancient harbor and quarry that we have identified on the coastal line of Şirinçavuş of Bandırma district. According to the fifteenth century portulans, the bathymetric maps and Digital Elevation Model 3D Modelings Digital Terrain Model of the harbor of Cunill i ere or Palleo/Palormo ? ancient city were prepared. Bathymetric map revealed that the ancient harbor had lost its function over time. It has been identified that the stones extracted from the ancient quarry were used in Valens Aqueduct of İstanbul 364-378 AD , on the outer courtyard of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque, on the outer walls of the Dolmabahçe Palace, in the many monumental buildings in Istanbul, in Erdek Castle and in the Cyzicus Hadrian Temple. The ceramic fragments found during the surveys and the results obtained from archaeological surveys show that the ancient quarry was actively used from the Roman Period until the 19th century
