An Anatolian Studies Virtual Seminar with Paweł Nowakowski and Dagmara Wielgosz-Rondolino (University of Warsaw).
Our talk will present epigraphical finds from Quarry GO3C, one of the marble quarries at Göktepe near Muğla, recorded during a geo-archaeological survey in 2014. This study was part of the project Marmora Asiatica, financed by the National Science Centre of the Republic of Poland (grant agreement number 2012/07/E/HS3/03971), and supported by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Turkey and the General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration of the Republic of Turkey (MTA). We examined a dossier of both already known and newly recorded rock inscriptions and textual and pictorial graffiti (prominently including crosses, an invocation of Saint George, and an ownership inscription), which throw new light on the history of the quarry.
