Antique remains are scattered throughout the village, with pieces of column and frieze built into walls, and two statue bases or altars in use as the steps to the village fountain. To the north east of the village are high retaining walls made of large squared blocks, which must be the podia or terracing of some of the public monuments of the antique site.
Architetcural members poke up through the earth for a good kilometre from the village centre.
At Ephesus, Perge and Side, for example, the diggers have gathered related blocks together, and numbered them. At other sites, such as Didyma, the order of working and the processes involved can easily be studied, because the monuments concerned were never finished. At yet others, such as Kaunos, the excavators have reassembled several monuments and enough columns to help the visitor. But in spite of some fine examples of restoration, the very aesthetics of the matter are sometimes uneasy. When less material survives, however, then matters are more doubtful.
