What do we know about these particular tombs?

The Wikipedia site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_cut_architecture says: "In the 5th century BCE, the Lycians, who inhabited southern Anatolia (now Turkey) built hundreds of rock-cut tombs on a similar prototype, but smaller in scale. Excellent examples are to be found near Dalyan, a town in Muğla Province, along the sheer cliffs that faces a river. Since these served as tombs rather than as religious sites, the interiors were usually small and unassuming."

Thanks Gatunegru.
