All types of stones have been used as building stones, depending on their durability,\udvisual harmony with the intended construction and availability. In the Hellenistic period, as in\udother periods, tuff was preferred as a building stone due to its convenience – it was easy to extract,\udtransport and use for building. In the present study, three ancient quarries that were the possible tuff\udsources for the Apollon Smintheus Temple in C¸ anakkale are investigated by comparing the durability\udproperties of stones in the temple and in the quarries. These properties are determined\udusing physical and physico-mechanical tests, comparing fresh and artificially weathered samples.\udMicrostructural and elemental correlations were found using optical microscopy, stereomicroscopy,\udX-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, methylene blue adsorption and X-ray fluorescence\udanalyses. The results indicate that temple tuffs and two of three quarries have similar\udgeological engineering and microstructural properties with the strong claim that those two quarries\udcould have been the source of building stone for the temple.Peer reviewe
