Zengibar Castle was built by the Isaurian during antique ages on the summit of Mount Asar, approximately 20 km west of the town of Bozkır, Konya, Turkey. The aims of this study are to determine the lithological, petrographic, and mechanical characteristics of the building stones that were used to construct the walls and buildings in Zengibar Castle in order to determine the quarrying techniques of these stones and to determine which structures they were used in. A number of antique quarries of various sizes were located in Isaura, four of which produced a significantly higher volume of building stones. These antique quarries were mostly located on hillsides in carbonate rock of the Late Triassic Dutdere formation located in the Bolkardağı Units and were run phase by phase. The porosity range of the rocks was found to be between 0.85 and 0.90% and the dry density and uniaxial compressive strength were found to range from 2.67 to 2.68 g/cm³ and 83.10 to 96.60 MPa, respectively. The results of this study suggest that the stones that were quarried in these quarries were used as the main building material or flooring material in various constructions in Zengibar Castle, including religious buildings such as temples and chapels, social buildings such as dwellings, theaters, baths, fountains, and cemeteries, defense and security structures such as watchtowers, fortification walls, and city gates, in monumental tombs, and in stones in which reliefs and inscriptions were carved.

土耳其安那托利亚中部Zengibar城堡及其周围的古代Isaura采石场（Bozkır，科尼亚）

Zengibar城堡由艾萨里安人在古色古香的时期建造，位于土耳其科尼亚Bozkır镇以西约20公里的Asar峰顶。这项研究的目的是确定用于在Zengibar城堡中建造墙壁和建筑物的建筑石材的岩性，岩石学和机械特性，以确定这些石材的采石技术并确定使用了哪些结构伊萨拉（Isaura）坐落着许多大小不一的古董采石场，其中四个采石量大得多。这些古董采石场大多位于Bolkardağı单元的晚期三叠纪Dutdere组碳酸盐岩的山坡上，并分阶段进行。岩石的孔隙率范围在0.85至0之间。³和83.10至96.60 MPa。这项研究的结果表明，在这些采石场中开采的石头被用作Zengibar城堡各种建筑的主要建筑材料或地板材料，包括宗教建筑，例如寺庙和教堂，社会建筑，例如住宅，剧院，浴室。 ，喷泉和公墓，防御和安全结构（如watch望塔，防御工事墙和城门），巨大的坟墓以及刻有浮雕和铭文的石头。
