For much of the Middle-Upper Pleistocene and Holocene, Lake Eğirdir had characteristics similar to those of the large Beyşehir-Suğla Basin: a piedmont location enclosed by mountain ranges, large size and north-south orientation, maximum depth of about 15 m, variable water level and nutrient concentration (occasionally becoming a large pond), and probable increases in salinity. The qualitative and quantitative study of both malacofaunas, together with taphonomic observations on the shells,gave deeper insight into the formation processes of natural lacustrine shell accumulations and certain aspects of zooarchaeological interest, improving our understanding of such phenomena.
