“…This review paper focusses on carbonate deposits in Roman water systems, notably aqueducts, but conclusions drawn will equally apply to water supply systems of other cultures and ages, which we cannot all treat here. Notable examples of other ancient water systems with carbonate deposits are the Classical Greek and Hellenistic water supply systems of Greece and Turkey (Angelakis et al, 2012(Angelakis et al, , 2017Lolos, 1997;Öziş, 1994), Nabatean water systems in Jordan (Oleson, 1997(Oleson, , 2018 and pre-Columbian water channels in the Americas (Caran & Neely, 2006;Neely, 2001Neely, , 2017Neely et al, 2022;Winsborough et al, 1996).…”

Calcium carbonate deposits from ancient water systems such as aqueducts are a hidden archive for archaeology and environmental sciences. These deposits formed wherever carbonate‐rich water was in contact with a water‐containing structure and recorded water composition, temperature, biological content, the operation or nonoperation of a water system segment, flow discharge and velocity, the shape of disappeared segments of water structures, the number of years a water supply system was active, disruptions of the water supply and water management such as repairs, adaptations and cleaning. Indirectly, urban development, resilience, population‐ and socioeconomic dynamics can be studied through the stratigraphy of carbonate in water systems. Carbonate archives can also give insight into long‐term changes in paleoclimate and on environmental pollution, deforestation, extreme floods, droughts, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Archaeological and environmental investigations of carbonate deposits can provide data with up to daily resolution over decades to centuries. Although absolute dating of carbonate from water systems is still problematic, each study on the aqueduct of an ancient city, together with its carbonate deposits, provides its own microstory in Roman life.

“…They consist of 16 systems with a total length of 130 km, including the 50 km long Süleymaniye water conveyance by the great engineer and architect Sinan in 1550's. The conduits are basically baked clay pipes, with certain tunnel sections and passing over some aqueducts; the Süleymaniye system made even use of the 4th century Mazul and Bozdoğan aqueducts (Çeçen 1979b, 1988, 1991aÖziş 1984Öziş and Arısoy 1987Öziş and Arısoy , 1996Öziş and Arısoy , 2000Öziş and Arısoy , 2003Öziş et al 2007;Acar 2010;I.W.A. 2012).…”

“…The system includes more than thirty aqueducts of various sizes. The conduit is a masonry gallery, and is for the large part still in operation (Çeçen 1979b, 1988Öziş 1984Schnitter 1990;Öziş and Arısoy 1987Öziş and Arısoy , 1996Öziş and Arısoy , 2000Öziş and Arısoy , 2003Öziş et al 2007;D.S.İ. 2008;I.W.A.…”

“…In the period of 1620 to 1839, the Kırkçeşme system is supplemented by four (Topuz, Büyük, Ayvat, Kirazlı), the Taksim system by three (Topuzlu, Valide, Yeni) dams, with heights up to 17 m and crest lengths up to 104 m. All these dams, located at the Belgrad Forest to the north of İstanbul, are still in operation (Öziş 1977, 1984Çeçen 1979b, 1988Schnitter 1994;Öziş et al 2007;D.S.İ. 2008;Acar 2010).…”

Turkey is one of the foremost open-air museums of the world with regard to historical water works from the last 4000 years. Some of them are still in operation after several centuries or even several millennia. There are remains of dams, irrigation canals, and water collection structures dating back to the II nd millenium BC, the Hittite period in Central Anatolia. Several dams, irrigation canals, qanats date back to the first half of the I st millenium BC, the Urartu period in Eastern Anatolia. Long-distance water conveyance systems, pipes, masonry canals, inverted siphons, tunnels, dams date back to the second half of the
