Abstract

The ongoing excavations initiated in 2003 on the Tepecik acropolis at Patara have brought to light many noteworthy results concerning the somewhat obscure history and archaeology of Archaic Patara. The very rich pottery finds confirming the Archaic dating of the building complex are particularly important. The building complex, which was not used during the late Hellenistic, Roman or Byzantine periods, presents a good example of Archaic planning with its well-preserved foundations. In this study, the excavation work conducted on this building complex is introduced together with the associated finds.

Özet

Patara'da Tepecik Akropolis'nde 2003 yılında başlatılmış ve halen devam etmekte olan kazılar kentin kısmen karanlıkta kalmış Arkaik Dönemi'ne ilişkin önemli sonuçlar ortaya koymaya başlamıştır. Zengin çeşitlilikteki seramik buluntularla Arkaik Dönem'e tarihlenen yapı kompleksinin ayrı bir önem taşıdığı anlaşılmıştır. Geç Hellenistik Roma ve Bizans Dönemleri'nde kullanılmadığı anlaşılan yapının bu iyi korunmuş temeli arkaik mimariye iyi bir örnek oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada açığa çıkartılmış olan bu yapı kompleksi buluntular ışığında mimari ve tarihsel bütünlüğü içinde tanıtılmaktadır.
