Roughed-out blocks in the quarries at Kara Göl near Teos.
The quarries at Kara Göl near Sığacık (ancient Teos) are the largest known source of the popular black-red-green-white marble known in antiquity as Marmor Lucullum and in the Renaissance as Africano. The quarry is now a lake but large quantities of roughed-out blocks, many of them stepped for sawing into revetment and paving panels, have been found on the site.
