N2  - Assessmentof the weathering degree of carbonate rocks is very difficult becausecarbonates are particularly susceptible to solution which can lead to almostcomplete removal of the weathering products in solution and than rocks containssignificant voids. Studying weathering states of building stones in historicalplaces under conservation are also difficult because of sampling limitations.The ancient buildings have been constructed with limestone in Mediterraneancosts, because of ability to have large blocks and suitability as buildingstones. It is possible to observe traces of solution weathering in the buildingstones of the buildings of the Olba ancient city in macro and micro scale. Dueto sampling restriction, some non-destructive methods are applied to determineweathering state of building stones in micro scale in Olba ancient city. Inthis purpose, this study investigates surface morphology of the building stonesin micro scale using self-affine fractal behaviours. For this reason, ScanningElectron Microscope (SEM) analyses were carried out on small samples for thecalculation of fractal dimension of each mineral obtained from building stoneshas different weathering states. According to analysis, the increment in theweathering degree is lead to increasing the fractal dimension. This result isconsistent with previous study carried out in macro scale.
