The city finally died when the harbour silted up and strangled communications. Here: the completely silted-up harbour of the ancient city, the cause of its demise.

Turkey, Lycia, Kaunos: The ancient Graeco-Roman city of Kaunos lay

on the border of Lycia and Karia and its inhabitants made a living from boat-building and the export of salt, slaves and amber. The city finally died when the harbour silted up and strangled communications. Here: the completely silted-up harbour of the ancient city, the cause of its demise.
