A New Amphora and Pottery Production Area in Phaselis: Evaluation of Discoveries and Finds

Abstract

A new amphora and pottery production site was identified during excavations on the flat side of the Central Tower slopes in Phaselis. A large number of amphoras and pottery forms have been identified, especially in certain areas, as well as defective examples of amorphous material, slag, production, firing and workshop waste. These are the most important evidence that points to production in the field. In this study, the artifacts that were recovered during excavations carried out under the landscaping project in Phaselis and which point to amphora and pottery production waste and production process are evaluated. Other archaeological excavations and research in Phaselis have also found significant amounts of amorphous material, slags, oven parts, production waste amphora and pottery pieces. At different points in the city, especially in the Hellenistic Temple Area, production waste amphora fragments are numerous. The morphological properties of amphoras produced defectively are similar to those of well-produced examples that have been recovered in different areas in Phaselis. In summary, the current findings and results illuminate the IVth-IIIrd century B.C. amphora and pottery production in Phaselis and contribute to the history of production in the city.
