| The survey conducted by Bean in 1952 in the Çavdir District of the Burdur Province yielded grave stones from the Roman Period. There is a rectangular altar as well as rounded ones. It bears a relief of a human figure; depicted inside an aedicula; which has been seriously damaged. One of the rounded altars; also bear depiction of two human figures. The inscription records it as the 83th year of Kibyra while the researcher dated the inscription to 106 A.D. [Bean 1956:145-146]. He also noted that he saw an uninscribed Kakasbos relief. Although the local people informed that the relief was brought from Incirliburun on the uplands to the south of Çavdir; the researcher couldn't have localized the site [Bean 1956:148]. A little up from the road running from Çavdir to Uyluköy to the southwest; there is a Lycian type of tomb. The beams are rounded; and the door is doubled as one inner and one outer. Inside the tomb; there are stone figures to the right and back. No inscription was found [Bean 1956:145]. |
