"We [with Muğla Museum] initiated a work to display the tomb and sarcophagi -- which can be carried from its place -- at the entrance of the city by the board decision," he said, adding that there were samples that could go back to some 4,500 years ago.
"We are fulfilling a very important project that will set an example for Muğla," he said.
They have already placed gladiator graves at the entrance of the ancient city, Söğüt said, adding that there will be Turkish and English labels describing the pieces.
He said that the graves would be classified according to the era they belong to -- starting from the Bronze Age (circa 3,000 BC) --, and added that the ones that will be displayed are the ones that cannot be protected in its original place.
The ancient city of Stratonikeia was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Temporary List in 2015.
Söğüt said the excavations feed them with new information every year, and the project will pave way for unearthing archeological values and finding important data.
