Description
Capadoccia is famed for its weird geology , much more extensive than the white cliffs of Pamukkale . Deep layers of volcanic ash settled into easily carved tufa which has offered shelter to people creating cave-homes from prehistoric times . During the early Christian era it became a popular retreat for hermits and later for other Christians seeking refuge from persecution by Romans and--later--by Muslims . <P>The heart of this area is the little tourist town of Goreme , where in recent years numerous "cave hotels " have been carved into the rock .

Digitization
Prof. Paul Brians created these photographs using an Olympus Camedia D-490ZOOM with available light, no tripod. A couple of dozen photos toward the end of the trip were made on Kodak disposable cameras. Paul Brians also provided captions and other descriptive information for the images that were cataloged and uploaded to the CONTENTdm server at the WSU Libraries.
