“…In the Muğla area of south‐west Turkey, the marble beds are generally found as long lenses within the cover series in the southern flank of the Menderes Massif metamorphic rocks (Yavuz ; Yavuz et al . 2005a,b).…”

“…They have different colours and patterns, and are known in the modern marble industry by various names, such as ‘Milas White, Veined, Pearl, Aubergine, Lilac and Lemon’ (Yavuz ; Yavuz et al . 2005a,b).…”
A database of the ancient marbles of Göktepe near Aphrodisias is reported, and includes 160 white, black and bichrome samples from 13 quarries and two waste deposits. The quarries are grouped into four districts. Districts 1 and 2, to the north, produced exclusively black or dark grey marbles (nero antico). Districts 3 and 4 produced white statuary marble. Nero antico and a black and white stone were also quarried in district 4, where the black marble surfaces again. The samples were characterized using petrography, isotopic analysis, EPR spectroscopy and trace analysis. The Göktepe white exhibits an unparalleled combination of fine grain, low EPR intensity and high strontium concentration that often allows easy identification. The isotopic values are less distinctive and similar to those for Carrara. In most cases, however, they are tightly grouped and also quite indicative. The black marbles exhibit a much weaker metamorphic overprint. With respect to the white marbles, they show analytical similarities but also notable differences. Therefore, establishing their provenance can be more difficult and may require the support of petrographic analysis. The results suggest that the Göktepe marbles were among the most prized and widespread statuary marbles used in Roman times, particularly from the early second century AD onwards.

“…Because the sampling from one marble block will not be reliable, it is not evaluated. The possible comment is that the lilac-purple veined marble may have a limited stratigraphic level in Domuzderesi ancient quarries and was extracted and consumed during the ancient period, • to the best of our knowledge, similar marble types have been reported in the Mugla region, southwest Turkey [8,16,18,31,34]. The lilac-purple veined marble may have been brought by trade from the Mugla region.…”
“…In articles (Mosch, 2011;Luodes and Sutinen, 2011;Assali et al, 2014;Kalenchuk et al, 2006;Nguyen, 2011) the authors used digital images of sites with natural stone array cracks for measurement of the crack parameters of natural separateness. In articles (Deliormanli et al, 2014;Sonmez et al, 2004;Yavuz et al, 2005;Reid and Harrison, 2000) the procedure of processing rocky surface digital images for separate crack identi cation is investigated. Mining operation planning methods on a quarry were investigated on the basis of digital image analysis of ledge surfaces by taking into account given sizes of block output (Ülker and Turanboy, 2009;Alade et al, 2012;Elci and Turk, 2014;Mutlutürk, 2007).…”
This research focuses on patterns of change in the dimension stone commodity blocks quality production on previously identi ed and measured geometrical parameters of natural cracks, modelling and planning out the nal dimension of stone products and nished products based on the proposed digital photogrammetric techniques. The optimal parameters of surveying are investigated and the in uence of surveying distance to length and crack area is estimated. Rational technological parameters of dimension stone blocks production are taken into account.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
