Temples to the Mother Goddess Discovered on the Düver Peninsula

Abstract

Within the frame of fieldwork of the Düver Settlement History Research Project carried out on the Düver Peninsula and the environs of Yarışlı Lake in Burdur Province, salvage excavations were conducted in 2012 and 2013. Two rock-cut stepped altars and two temples partially hewn from the rock were uncovered1 Figs. 1-4 . As the peninsula remains under threat from vandals in search of gold in the rock and who for this reason destroyed the only rock tomb2 and rock relief3, the finds were put under a temporary protective roof. The present study aims to present the two temples and the two stepped altars that were uncovered4, to examine them, and to identify and investigate this Iron Age cult and its rites at the peninsula in light of this new evidence
