The main purpose of the study is to examine the glacial shapes that form in the Quaternary in Akdağ Mass and to date them with OSL. In this study, geographic information systems and morphometric analyzes, OSL dating method and sedimentological analyzes were used. Due to the relief of Akdağ, it appears as a massive consisting of several peaks over 2700m. Several factors and processes have played roles in the geomorphological development of Akdağ Massive. Karst, glacier, tectonic and fluvial are primary among these processes. Pleistocene glaciations, which were efficient in Akdağ Massif, developed in accordance with the karst topography to a great extent and thick plateau glaciers expanded in paleo karstic depressions which were situated at the altitude of 2500 m and over. Five glacial valleys, three of them are larger, are identified in Akdağ Massive. These glacier valleys start with well developed cirques. While these valleys are in harmony with the paleokarstic depressions at the elevation of 2500 m as having low slope degrees, wide valley base and covered by ground and lateral moraines, below the elevation of 2500 m the valleys are being narrowed and the classical trough valley form is taken and the vallyes end at the elevation of 2000 m with terminal moraines. According to acquired OSL ages belonging to samples obtained from glacier deposits which are products of these glaciers, it is revealed that they were 17-21 thousand years old and this is synchronous the last glacial maximum.
