anging in date from 1812 to 1990 supp1ied the basic data. The documentsused in the study were as follows:1) British Adnıiralty chart of the anehorage at Cape Anamur at ascale of approximately 1:9000 prepared by F. Beaufort in 1812.*2) Aerial photographs at a scale of approxinıately 1:8000 taken byHarita Genel Komutanlığı (HGK) (Turkish State Mapping Agency) in1954 (Fig. 10, left).*3) Cadastral nıaps at a scale of 1:5000, prepared from aerial photographstaken in 1966 by Tapu Kadastro Genel Müdürlüğü.4) Archaeological plan of Anemurium at a scale of 1:3000 preparedby G.Huber in 1965 (Fig. 2).*5) Archaeological Plan of Anenıurium ata scale of 1:2500 preparedby T. Boyd in 1978 (Fig. 4).In a number of cases (nos. 1, 6 and 7) the scales employed were 100imprecise to furnish reliable data, and İn one case (no. 4) the inaccuraterepresentation of the coast renders it unsuitable for precise measurement.Consequently only those docııınents nıarked with an asterisk, along withthe measurenıents takeri in the field in 1993, have been employed in estab1ishingthe conıparative table of distances between the eight referencepoints and the shore-line, This covers a period of 40 years.Table of Reference PointsNo.1 No.2 NoJ No,4 No.5 No.6 No.7 No.81954 90m 96m 112 m 96.5 ın 141 m 92 ın 90 ın 85.0 ın1966 70 ın 69 ın 78 ın 86.5 ın1978 63 ın 72 ın1986 91.5 ın1993 Fcb. 45 ın 49 ın 55 ın 62 ın 132 ın 84 ın 88 ın1993 July 44 ın 48 ın 54 ın 87 ın 90 ın 85 ınFrom this table it is clear that the extent of the beach, especially atthe southern end of the area surveyed, has narrowed appreciab1y since theearliest of the measurements recorded in 1954. This contractiorı is evident,for example, at reference point no. 1 where the sea stood at a distanceof about 90 m from the ancient sea-wall in 1954. At this time the140
