Özet

The ancient city of Tlos is one of the richest Lycian settlements in terms of the architecture of its 'Lycian Type' rock cut tombs, which have managed to live on until the present day in various versions. The exterior design of these tombs, known to have been utilized since the Early Classical Period, is generally accepted to be a reflection of the wooden architecture of the Lycian region. This exterior design can consist of just one panel, but there arc also more than a few tombs including two or more panels. In fact, some rock cut tombs even possess a multi-layered panel design. The exterior design of the rock cut tombs in question has generally been carved into the main rock face along with the burial chamber. However, it's also known that the exterior design of some samples was constructed using an application technique.
