Letoon Teras Duvarı Kazılarında Ele Geçen Doğu Sigillataları ile Lykia Bölgesi Kırmızı Astarlı Seramikler | Eastern Sigillatas and Lycia Region Red Slip Wares recovered from the Letoon Terrace Wall Excavations

Abstract

As part of the Letoon surveys, the excavations have been carried out on the terrace walls since 2015 due to the fact that some of the remains of the walls, which are observed at the end of the western slope from the theater to the city, show structural features towards terracing. The architecture of the Terrace Wall and Late Antique Palaces was published. Due to the unclear discovery of the ceramics from the hill with the flow from the top to the terrace wall and the relations with the Late Antique Periods, the rich ceramic groups in various forms, which date back to the large time interval, shed light on the ceramic diversity of the settlement. Ceramics from the Classical Period to the Late Antiquity have been studied according to their periods and types and the Roman Period ceramics were determined as the subject of this article. Roman ceramics include eastern sigillatas; ESA, ESB, ESC Groups and local Lykian red slip wares are available. In addition, excavated, daily use vessels; cooking pots, service, storing vessels, mortars related to the function of the space will be evaluated separately. In this study, it is aimed to understand the ceramic trade, production and relations between the cities in the Roman Period in the Lycian region. In the light of these results, it has been tried to provide an overview of trade, production economy, relations between the cities.
