The first fortification at this site was a fort con- structed by the Byzantines, somewhere between the 7th and the 11th century, as a bulwark against the Arabs. Around 1100 Byzantine em- peror Alexios I Komnenos dispatched the royal eunuch Eustathius as an admiral and directed him to fortify Silifke and more northerly Korykos. The strategy was to defend it from any possible seizure by the Crusader Bohemund I de Guiscard. A large garrison was maintained at Silifke and Korykos under the command of a certain Strategus Strabo. Shortly before 1190 the fort passed into the possession of Baron Leo II (later to become King Leo I), never again to be Photo by Joseph So © under Byzantine control.

Irrigation is technological practice improving irrigation water quality of groundwater resources used in the crop yield as well as quality under the correct irrigation of some vegetable plants and their effect on soil management [9]. In order to obtain maximum profits from salinity at plastic houses. Water samples were taken from the current water supplies, special cares are needed especially groundwater resources. In addition, soil samples were taken in the water distribution and water use in field level [10]. from the research sites at 0-30 cm soil depth for determination Irrigation is vital important to improve the crop production in of chemical and physical properties of research soils. In results, soil textures varied from Sandy-Clay-Loam (SCL) to Loam (L). arid or semi-arid lands.

Fakültesi, Jeoloji Müh. Böl., KONYA ÖZET: Toros kuşağında ‘’Alanya metamorfitleri’’ veya ‘’Alanya Birliği’’ olarak tanınan şistik kayalar, Bozyazı ve yakın çevresinin temelini oluşturmaktadır. Bu metamorfiklerin alt bölümünde, yüksek basınç metamorfizması gösteren Sugözü Napı yer alır. Oluşumunu Geç Kretase’de tamamlayan Sugözü birimi, metakuvarsit ve mermer ara katkılı granatlı mikaşistler, amfibolit şistler, fillitler ile mermer- rekristalize kireçtaşı, metagabro, metadiyabaz ve metaserpantinit bloklarını kapsar. Bölgenin üst metamorfik dilimi ise, yeşil şist fasiyesinde metamorfizma geçiren Yumrudağı Napı’dır. Kalkşist- mikaşist ara katkılı mermerler ile rekristalize karbonatlardan yapılmış Permiyen yaşlı Cebelireis formasyonu, Yumrudağı Napı’nın çalışma alanında yüzeyleyen alt bölümüne karşılık gelmektedir. Bu metamorfik naplar ise bölgede çok silik başkalaşım izleri taşıyan flişoitler tarafından, açılı uyumsuzlukla örtülürler. Geç Paleosen-Eosen yaşlı bu flişoidler; çakıltaşı, kumtaşı, çamurtaşı, marn ve killi kireçtaşlarından oluşmaktadırlar. Yukarıda özetlenen Alanya Birliği kayaları üzerine, önemli bir tektonik dokanaktan sonra, Toroslar’da ‘’Hadim Napı’’ veya ‘’Aladağ Birliği’’ olarak bilinen tektono-stratigrafik dilim gelir.

  • The Aqueduct of Eliaussa Sebaste in Rough Cilicia
    The Aqueduct of Elaiussa Sebaste in Rough Cilicia Water Channels for today and yesterday Dennis Murphy The aqueduct of Elaiussa Sebaste provides an excellent opportunity to study how ancient water systems can still be utilized in a modern environment and see how many of the technical problems faced by the ancient Romans are the same for today’s modern engineers. Providing a visual presentation of the aqueduct bridges along the route from the Lamas Valley to Elaiussa will also help eliminate the confusion that has been created when these bridges have sometimes been misidentified in recent literature and internet web sites. HISTORY The city was founded by the Greeks sometime in the 2nd Century BC and existed in relative obscurity until Archaelaus I of Cappadocia made the city his capital. He changed the name of the city to “Sebaste” around AD 18 in honor of his benefactor, the Emperor Augustus. After his death, rule of the city passed to his son Archaelaus II who continued to expand the city. Upon his death in AD 36, the emperor Caligula gave the kingdom to Antiochus IV of Commagene. The city became part of the Roman province of Cilicia in AD 72 and continued to prosper under Roman and Byzantine rule until the 7th century AD. Then it lowly sank back into obscurity until the coming of the Mameluke Turks in 1375 when it was completely abandoned. While the exact date for the aqueduct’s construction has not been firmly determined, it was probably constructed in the 1st century A.D. and sometime before the construction of the theater.

Research Article Observations on the floristic list of the Mersin collected from the highplateaus of Mersin Ay şe Everest Mersin University, Science&Art Faculty, Biology Department, Çiftlikköy-Mersin/TURKEY Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Mersin University Research Herbarium (MERA) plants which are collected from Middle Taurus mountains are part of the Alpin-Himalayan system. In this research, the importance of these plants in terms of endemism and rare specimens is emphasized and they are compared with some of the Alpin and Himalayan plants. MERA is presented for the first time. The 5000 sheets of specimens were collected between 1996-2009. Our results indicate that Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Fabaceae, Poaceae are common families collected from the highplateaus in Gülnar, Bozyazı, Mut, Erdemli, Çamlıyayla and Tarsus province of Mersin. Key words: Mersin plants; Taurus mountains, Meditteranean area (TURKEY). INTRODUCTION Mersin is a city in the south of Turkey (Figure 1). Turkiye, as a whole, houses more than 10 000 species of Spermatophyta, whose 33.3 (%) is endemics and which has many different types of vegetation. In Meditterenean Region, the Taurus Mountains support a high level of biodiversity, including a large number of endemic plants. Some 1710 of these endemics occur in the Bolkar Mountains in the middle of the Taurus range (Gemici 1994).
