Doğanhisar is located in the north-east of Sultan Mountains and 122 km. far from the center of Konya. Four of the ancient crossroads are in the border and one of them is on the border line of the town. There has not been any scientific study in this region except for few surveys. Ancient name of the settlement of this town was “Meteos” and it was in the borders of Phrygia region. During the various construction excavations, a large number of Archaeological materials have been uncovered in the center of the district. Some of these materials were at Halil Çivgin Park and some of them can be seen as part of the walls of the mosque as reused (spolyen) material. These materials can be listed as grave steles, sarcophagi parts and decorated architectural element sandals. In this study, we will deal with a solid grave stele which was found during a canalization excavation in the district. This site is referred as "Old Cemetery" by locals. Stele which is the subject of our study is made by domestic lime stone and formed like a temple facade. The upper of the front side has a female bust and there is a 5 lines inscription in Greek under it.
