Avdalaz Castle, carved by the Phrygians around the 2nd–3rd century bc in Afyonkarahisar, western Türkiye, and later reused during the Roman and Byzantine periods, represents one of the earliest known multi-storey rock-cut settlements in Anatolia. Beyond its architectural uniqueness, the site holds exceptional cultural and historical importance for understanding early urban dwelling patterns in central Anatolia. However, its irregular geometries, multilevel interior chambers and limited accessibility pose significant challenges for accurate digital recording and long-term preservation. To address these challenges, this study undertakes a comparative assessment of UAV photogrammetry, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and iPad LiDAR scanning (iLS). UAV photogrammetry enabled rapid coverage of ...
