Koyunbaba Ancient Stone Quarry Dock

Abstract

The subject matter of this article is the ancient stone quarry dock located in Quarter of Koyunbaba, municipality of Gümüşlük, district of Bodrum and province of Muğla. Rocks in Koyunbaba Ancient Stone Quarry are formed as a product of active volcanism in Mid-Upper Miocene. These rocks are easily shaped and also have beautiful appearances due to its green color. Thanks to this characteristic, block stones taken from this quarry are encountered in almost all the ancient settlements located in the coastal line along Halikarnassos Mausolleion and Bodrum Peninsula, particularly in Myndos Ancient City its close surrounding. When considering the size of stone quarry, it is seen that stones have been extracted from this quarry for long years. In the research we have carried out on this dock, mooring holes, bollards and (2 pieces of) sarcophagus made of Koyunbaba rock in the depth of 4 meters on the southern end of the dock are determined.
