Ertan}, keywords={Domuzağılı, Pamphylia, Kome, Necropolis, Attaleia, Termessos}, abstract={The “Domuzağılı First Degree Archaeological Site” lies within the Hacısekiler environs of the Konyaaltı District, Antalya, approximately 8 km inland, south of the Çandır Stream. In 2022, fieldwork was conducted to document the site’s condition following recent damage, with primary focus on the necropolis; the forest-covered settlement area was examined only in outline. The survey recorded previously undocumented sarcophagi and inscriptions. New necropolis finds comprise four chamosorion-type tombs with lids (two bearing new inscriptions), three sarcophagi with lids, three additional lids (two unfinished), and architectural blocks possibly belonging to a tomb structure. Epigraphically dated to the 3rd century AD, the Domuzağılı sarcophagi display homogeneous relief styles and typological traditions. Five examples feature on their main façade depictions of standing couples or family members, a hallmark of local decorative practice. A further recurrent motif, present in both freestanding sarcophagi and chamosorion types, is the shield-and-spear design derived from the Termessos–Pisidia tradition, combined with a central tabula ansata. Busts on lids, known from neighbouring necropoleis, are also attested, though often unfinished. Additional evidence includes prehistoric stone tool chips and ceramic fragments on a hill southwest of the settlement, suggesting occupation linked to the Prehistoric Domuzburnu Cave, 4 km to the east. Epigraphic and historical-geographical studies formed a significant component of the research. Newly recorded inscriptions were compared with previously published local material. Two inscriptions indicate that this kome, whose ancient name is unknown, was administratively subordinate to Attaleia in the 3rd century AD, but onomastic results point to a Termessan origin for the inhabitants.}, publisher={Nalan Eda AKYÜREK ŞAHİN}
