Inscribed rock with cupules in Midas. Cupules carved into the rocks at Midas are small, shallow bowl-shaped hollows that have been probably pecked, pounded or ground into the rock surface. The exact function of cupules is unclear, yet it has been supposed that cupules could have symbolic or ceremonial functions. While the surface of rock has been over eroded by the effects of weather over the time, its structure displays some signs of percussion, such as crushed particles, and surface bruising. Similar to Sarıalan in Beyköy, this might be related to water cult.135 film (36×24 mm
