| Geography and Environment: It consists of a single fossil hall (29x9x3 m). It has travertine decorations on the walls and ceiling. It elongated to the both sides of a 4 m wide hall; the one on the right side has a 5x6 m rocky and inclined structure whereas the left one has a roof height ranging from 1 to 2 m and a narrowly elongating structure. It was formed within a calcareous position and covered with stalactites and stalagmites. Glazeless potsherds made of soil found at the end of the 70 m long cave are almost integrated into the crystallized calcareous mass [Albukrek et al. 1994:26]. |
