Abstract:

The Kula Volcanic Geopark, which has hosted many civilizations from the Paleolithic time to the present day, has many geological, geomorphological, historical, cultural and archaeological resources. One of these values is the Pacient Ancient Stone Stone, a geoarchocytes that we first detected. The stone stone is opened in the traverts that are formed by the Heavy Thermal Sources. The traverten blocks located in the east of the Gediz River Valley, the traces of the stone stone, have reached to this day. Cutting traces are seen clearly in many production traces, such as the channels that are created in the extract of construction materials. The blocks removed from the rest in the west of the Kula-Selendi road 3 km northeast of the area where the Emir Hammas are located, were moved to the ancient town of Thermai Thesos, where there are numerous thermal hammas structures from the Roman era in Anadolu. Few remains of the ancient town of Thermai Thesos have reached our day. The majority of the building material belongs to this settlement is located in the town of Şehitlioğlu. This January and the traverts around it have been operated throughout the ages from the Roman era to the present day for the supply of construction materials. This study aims to identify the traverts used as building materials in the ancient town of Thermai Thesos, to identify the measures to be taken against the natural and anthropogenic threats that cause the destruction of gearcheositis, and to identify strategies for the protection of the extinctive and extinctive stone. It is also important to emphasize the importance of gearchy for qualified and sustainable tourism.
