Head of Medusa found in Antiocheia ad Cragum
“We have found the Medusa figure ... among the marble blocks of a big structure, most probably a temple,” said Nebraska University’s Michael Hof, who is heading the excavations.
“This is a normal human-size head, maybe a bit bigger. It does not belong to a sculpture but a relief located in the front façade of the temple. It was found nearly a week ago. When the excavation is finished, it will be delivered to the Alanya Cultural Directorate.”
UÅŸak University Archaeology Department member Professor Birol Can said the work started in Antiocheia ad Cragum in 2005 and was continuing with collaboration from Turkish and U.S. officials.
