 note = {In 1991, a 60.85 m continuous core was collected from the Konya basin (37°45′13.3″N and 32°43′5.4″E) which is located in the western part of the Anatolian Plateau Turkey, where there ware a number of important ancient civilizations.  The core sediment consists of a continuous lacustrine accumulation of homogeneous silty clay and clay with shell bands, sand streams and organic-rich accumulated layers.  It also contains visible gypsum crystals suggesting the existence of dry climatic condition in the past.  Three ash layers were also recognized at 7.72-7.77 m, 12.15-12.20 m and 51.5 m in depth.  The preliminary radiocarbon datings of the shells collected from 6 m depth are older than 40 environmental record such as interglacial-glacial cycles occurring about every 100,000 years during the past million years.  This report is a sedimentological description of the core samples form the Konya Basin.},
