The history of the village is well known from ancient and Byzantine written sources; it was fortified in AD 505–507 by order of the emperor Anastasius I. These fortifications were rebuilt twenty years later under the emperor Justinian I. The fortifications as well as the cisterns are exceptionally well preserved. Some monuments and parts of the village were excavated during the 1990s by Metin Ahunbay (Istanbul University) and in the 2000s by Nihat Erdoğan, current director of the Museum of Mardin. The village is furthermore surrounded by quarries, of which the most impressive extend to the south-west of the fortifications. Some of these quarries were later turned into necropoleis. While several studies have been published on the fortification and the systems of water supply as well as the necropoleis, no systematic research has been conducted on the quarries. Based on the study techniques, this paper advances some hypotheses about the use of the quarries. Some proposals are also discussed concerning the Galeri Mezer and some unpublished inscriptions are presented.
