Özet
Limyra or Zemuri is located in the southeast of the Teke peninsula, on the Finike Plain and the foothills of Tocak Mountain to the north. Limyra is one of the important settlements of the Lycian civilization. To determine the natural environment changes from the first settlement in Limyra until today, 46 drillings were done. Detailed paleontological - sedimentological analysis of six of these core drillings was carried out. The identified macrofossils and microfossils have contributed to a better understanding of sedimentologically differentiated environments. Although the surface of the plain is several meters above sea level in the area where the Limyra ruins are located, marine sediments, supported by sedimentological-paleontological analyses, were not reached during the core drillings. The sea rising with the Holocene transgression could not be introduced into the surroundings of Limyra, which is probably between the alluvial fans formed by the Akcay and Alakir streams. However, there was a wetland among the fans, fed by karstic springs along the foothills of Tocak Mountain.
