The travertines were mainly extracted from quarries on the outer slopes of a low plateau below the city. The distinctive attribute of most of the quarries is that they are narrow but deep vertical-sided trenches. Each trench is the site of a nearly vertical fissure that was filled by banded fissure travertine, one type of so-called Phrygian marble. Trench walls, formerly the contacts between vertical banded travertines and outward dipping bedded travertines, bear a well-defined herringbone pattern of tool marks identical to those on many of the stone blocks that were used for building Hierapolis. Deposition of the travertines in 21 major fissure-ridges was a consequence of precipitation following degassing of carbonate-rich hot waters emerging from springs aligned along active faults and associated fissures. Whereas the dense and attractively banded travertine in fissures was principally used as an ornamental stone, the bedded travertines of ridge sides were mainly employed as a dimension stone and for making columns. After many of the monuments at Hierapolis had been constructed from travertine, itself a faulting-related material, some of them were subsequently destroyed or damaged by earthquake fault reactivation, which caused them to be either shaken or displaced. The zone of greatest seismic damage coincides with the trace of the Hierapolis fault zone, whose location was detected from an alignment of offsets of walls and petrified irrigation channels. The kinematic class of this fault zone could be deduced because offsets of the linear archaeological features permitted opening directions to be determined, thus allowing the fault zone to be reinterpreted as a normal fault zone achieving a small downthrow to the southwest. The knowledge that the Hierapolis fault zone is a structure across which there is active stretching and increased hydrothermal flow helps to explain why the present-day area of hot pools and travertine deposition is situated immediately downslope of the fault trace. If this relationship between displaced features and recent travertine deposits occurs elsewhere it might be employed for finding the locations of earthquake faults. The purpose of this paper is to explain how Greek and Roman cities in the Maeander River earthquake faulting in the city of Hierapolis is valley (the present Menderes River) (Fig. 1), is associated with the deposition of a large body of roughly coincident with the present tourist travertine that was quarried for stone in Greek village of Pamukkale, a settlement that in the and Roman times, and how subsequent reacti- last 50 years has served the needs of visitors not vation of faults in the same area during these only to Hierapolis but also to the famous white periods and later was responsible for damaging travertine deposits that give Pamukkale its the city.

The major valleys, which coincide with the Menderes and Gediz grabens, were important routeways for peoples and armies travelling either west or east between the Aegean coast- lands and the central Anatolian plateau, a region that gave access to the upper Euphrates valley and from there to Persia and further east (see Ramsay's (1890) map of routes in ancient Asia Minor). Although the Menderes graben pro- vided the easiest pathway from the Aegean coast via Tralles (modern Aydin) and Nyssa to the interior, the Gediz graben was also a vital route connecting Magnesia (modern Manisa), King Croesus' city of Sardis and Philadelphia (modern Alasehir) in the Gediz graben to the cities of Tripolis, Hierapolis, Laodicea and Colossae in the Denizli basin.

Beasley Senior Principal, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. (WJE) ABSTRACT Cladding the Mid-Century Modern: Thin Stone Veneer-Faced Precast Concrete Sarah Sojung Yoon Dr. Theodore Prudon, Advisor With significant advancements in building technology at the turn of the twentieth century, new building materials and innovative systems changed the conventions of construction and design. New materials were introduced and old materials continued to be transformed for new uses. With growing demand after WWII forcing further modernization and standardization and greater experimentation; adequate research and testing was not always pursued. Focusing on this specific composite cladding material consisting of thin stone veneer-faced precast concrete – the official name given at the time – this research aims to identify what drove the design and how did the initial design change over time. Design decisions and changes are evident from and identified by closely studying the industry and trade literature in the form of articles, handbooks/manuals, and guide specifications. For this cladding material, there are two major industries that came together: the precast concrete industry and the stone industry. Literature from both industries provide a comprehensive understanding of their exchange and collaboration. From the information in the trade literature, case studies using early forms of thin stone veneer-faced precast concrete are identified, and the performance of the material over time is discussed.

The strongly lithified self-built channels and modern pools where analysed for their 238U,234U,230Th, 226Ra, 210Pb and 210Po contents, whereas 238U,234U and 226Ra were measured in modern hydrothermal waters. When corrected for detrital contamination, 230Th-ages of travertine samples range from 1215±80 years, in the oldest self-built hydrothermal channels, to the Present (modern pool carbonate deposits) thus pointing to the inception of the existing huge travertine depositional systems during the very late Holocene, probably following the major Laodikeia earthquate of the early 7th century (cf. Kumsar et al., 2016; DOI 10.1007/s10064-015-0791-0). So far, the available data suggest three major growth phases of the travertine system: an early phase (7th to 8th centuries CE), an intermediate phase (~ 14th century CE) and a modern one, less than one century old.

  • TURKEY GRAND TOUR with Dr
    TURKEY GRAND TOUR with Dr. Robert M. Schoch The Greatest Ancient Wonders of Anatolia – Exploring the Roots of Civilization June 6–19, 2020 & June 5–18, 2021 Join world-renowned geologist, scholar and author, Dr. Robert Schoch, for an incredible 14- day comprehensive tour exploring the archaeology, history, culture and natural beauty of Turkey – the region rightfully referred to as the "Cradle of Civilization". 1. Introducing Dr. Robert Schoch – Our Host for the Tour There is no better person to guide you through ancient sites and geological wonders than Dr. Robert M. Schoch. Classically trained, with a Ph.D. in geology and geophysics from Yale University, Dr. Schoch has been a fulltime faculty member at Boston University since 1984. For over two decades Dr. Schoch has been studying ancient civilizations around the world, in such diverse countries as Egypt, Turkey, Bosnia, Romania, Wales, Scotland, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Easter Island, Indonesia, and Japan. During the tour, Dr. Schoch will give a formal lecture presentation regarding his research, discuss the sites as we travel, and guests will also have the opportunity to take part in public and private conversations with Dr. Schoch, as everyone travels together, enjoying all of the sites and activities on the itinerary. In the early 1990s, Dr. Schoch's geological analyses of the Great Sphinx demonstrated that the statue is thousands of years older than the conventional dating of 2500 B.C., bringing him worldwide fame. This work has been both controversial and pivotal in reshaping our understanding of the origins and history of civilization. Recent discoveries in Turkey, particularly at Göbekli Tepe, which Dr.

  • TRAVERTINE-MARL DEPOSITS of the VALLEY and RIDGE PROVINCE of VIRGINIA - a PRELIMINARY REPORT David A
    - Vol. 31 February 1985 No. 1 TRAVERTINE-MARL DEPOSITS OF THE VALLEY AND RIDGE PROVINCE OF VIRGINIA - A PRELIMINARY REPORT David A. Hubbard, Jr.1, William F. Gianninil and Michelle M. Lorah2 The travertine and marl deposits of Virginia's Valley and Ridge province are the result of precipitation of calcium carbonate from fresh water streams and springs. Travertine is white to light yellowish brown and has a massive or concretionary structure. Buildups of this material tend to form cascades or waterfalls along streams (Figure 1). Marl refers to white to dark yellowish brown, loose, earthy deposits of calcium carbonate (Figure 2). Deposits of these carbonate materials are related and have formed during the Quaternary period. This preliminary report is a compilation of some litei-ature and observations of these materials. A depositional model is proposed. These deposits have long been visited by man. Projectile points, pottery fragments, and firepits record the visitation of American Indians to Frederick and Augusta county sites. Thomas Jefferson (1825) wrote an account of the Falling Spring Falls from a visit prior to 1781. Aesthetic and economic considerations eontinue to attract interest in these deposits.

  • The Grave Goods of Roman Hierapolis
    THE GRAVE GOODS OF ROMAN HIERAPOLIS AN ANALYSIS OF THE FINDS FROM FOUR MULTIPLE BURIAL TOMBS Hallvard Indgjerd Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History University of Oslo This thesis is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts June 2014 The Grave Goods of Roman Hierapolis ABSTRACT The Hellenistic and Roman city of Hierapolis in Phrygia, South-Western Asia Minor, boasts one of the largest necropoleis known from the Roman world. While the grave monuments have seen long-lasting interest, few funerary contexts have been subject to excavation and publication. The present study analyses the artefact finds from four tombs, investigating the context of grave gifts and funerary practices with focus on the Roman imperial period. It considers to what extent the finds influence and reflect varying identities of Hierapolitan individuals over time. Combined, the tombs use cover more than 1500 years, paralleling the life-span of the city itself. Although the material is far too small to give a conclusive view of funerary assem- blages in Hierapolis, the attempted close study and contextual integration of the objects does yield some results with implications for further studies of funerary contexts on the site and in the wider region. The use of standard grave goods items, such as unguentaria, lamps and coins, is found to peak in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Clay unguentaria were used alongside glass ones more than a century longer than what is usually seen outside of Asia Minor, and this period saw the development of new forms, partially resembling Hellenistic types. Some burials did not include any grave gifts, and none were extraordinarily rich, pointing towards a standardised, minimalistic set of funerary objects.

  • Deadly CO2 Gases in the Plutonium of Hierapolis (Denizli, Turkey)
    Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences (2019) 11:1359–1371 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12520-018-0599-5 ORIGINAL PAPER Deadly CO2 gases in the Plutonium of Hierapolis (Denizli, Turkey) Hardy Pfanz1 & Galip Yüce2 & Ahmet H. Gulbay3 & Ali Gokgoz4 Received: 30 March 2016 /Accepted: 16 January 2018 /Published online: 12 February 2018 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Using a portable gas analyzer system, the geogenic gas regime below and around an ancient gate to hell at Hierapolis/Phrygia was characterized. The site was first described by Strabo and Plinius as a gate to the underworld. During centuries, it attracted even ancient tourists. In a grotto below the temple of Pluto, CO2 was found to be at deadly concentrations of up to 91%. Astonishingly, these vapors are still emitted in concentrations that nowadays kill insects, birds, and mammals. The concentrations of CO2 escaping from the mouth of the grotto to the outside atmosphere are still in the range of 4–53% CO2 depending on the height above ground level. They reach concentrations during the night that would easily kill even a human being within a minute. These emissions are thought to reflect the Hadean breath and/or the breath of the hellhound Kerberos guarding the entrance to hell. The origin of the geogenic CO2 is the still active seismic structure that crosses the old town of ancient Hierapolis as part of the Babadag fracture zone. Our measurements confirm the presence of geogenic CO2 in concentrations that explain ancient stories of killed bulls, rams, and songbirds during religious ceremonies.

  • New Research in the Northern Necropolis of Hierapolis, Phrygia (Turkey)
    New research in the Northern necropolis of Hierapolis, Phrygia (Turkey) Anna Anguissola, Silvana Costa, Antonio Monticolo University of Pisa Italian Archaeological Mission at Hierapolis Since 1988, Hierapolis of Phrygia has been included in UNESCO’s list of mixed natural and cultural world heritage sites. Hierapolis is situated on a calcareous platform some 350 metres above sea level, on the western brink of the Anatolian plateau. It covers an area of ca. 65 ha and is surrounded by large cemeteries, built throughout the Hellenistic and imperial Roman periods. Some 600 monumental tombs with a remarkable variety of architectural types have been identified. Only a few of them have been either excavated or presented in scholarly publications. 1. The project This project (2017-2020) is the first coordinated effort to examine the funerary landscape of Hierapolis from a historical and social perspective. Our research focuses on the largest and the most complex of the cemeteries at Hierapolis, the northern Necropolis. Firstly, we aim to account for the general layout of the burial ground, as related to its topography, organizing principles, access and circulation, continuity and changes. Secondly, we wish to assess how individual monuments and sarcophagi contributed to the articulation of the funerary space by focusing on aspects such as material, techniques, visibility, use, and ownership of these objects. Thirdly, we integrate the study of funerary inscriptions as a means to gather information not only on specific persons, their status and lineage, but also on systems of belief, social symbols, memory, identity, social and political organization. 2. Area and funerary typologies We focus on the area between Tombs 156 and 162, including some 20 monuments and dozens of sarcophagi along the main road to Tripolis on the Meander.
