Ancient Village or Settlement in Aydın Province, Turkey

Ionian Greek city founded in 7th century BCE on the Acropolis then relocated in the 4th century to the present site below. The original city had two harbours, which have now silted up. The later city had a small Temple of Zeus, a Temple of Athena, a Sanctuary of Demeter, a sanctuary of Asklepion, a theatre, Baths, a Gymnasium, city walls and an agora.

I'm interested in putting together a graphic comparison of this coastline between the time that Priene had a port and the present where the Meander has silted up the valley. I guess Miletus became landlocked later, and Heracleia used to be a seaport until Lake Bafa was cut off.
This is what I've got so far, but I don't know where Priene's harbours were, yet. The 500BCE image I got from somewhere on the net but I'm not sure that it's accurate.
