Aerial photograph of the quarries on the Taşkesiği hill, Aphrodisias.
This aerial photograph (north at the top) shows the intensity of quarrying along the western side of the Taşkesiği hill, roughly 2 km north of Aphrodisias. The large debris piles are especially clear, as are the shadows made by the highest quarry faces. Across the rest of the ridge, to the east, the remains of much smaller quarries can also be seen.
