Geomorphologlcal Characteristics of the Antalya Caves as Dwelling Sites of the Prehistoric Man

Abstract

Caves are important karstic features in the Antalya area. It is known that some of the caves were used by man as shelters or dwellings during the prehistoric times. From this point of view, the Katran mountain is important particularly. There are many caves on the east facing slope of this mountain. Amoung them, the Karain cave is exceptional with prehistoric, plantal and faunal findings. Also there are many other caves in the Antalya area. They have various geomorphological features depending on different characteristics of the carbonafeous bedrock and other environmental conditions. In this study, the caves of the Antalya area were classified in four groups:

1. Caves of the Katran Mountain (Karain and others).

2. Caves Along the Travertine Scarps.

3. The Geylkbayiri Caves.

4. The Elmalı Caves
