Akdam is
a large late antique / Byzantine town with a basilica. The few surviving columns indicate that the
interior of this church was divided into a nave and flanking aisles. The apsidioles flanking the central apse are
very asymmetrical. This site is located
on a road between Sis and Çem and on a route south to the Mediterranean
Sea. The widespread discovery of 13th
and 14th c. Armenian coins indicates that Akdam was occupied in the medieval
period.
