The quarries were located right next to the main entrance of the site. Rustic huts have been found which must have been used as lodgings for the guards but also for the quarrymen, cutters and stone carvers. In the course of the excavations, pots, plates and containers were found. These quarries have revealed many stones cut or in progress and ramps to move them. This is where the stones were finished before being placed on the site. The polishing was carried out once the stones were placed.
