The Tomb Architecture of Pisye – Pladasa Koinon

Abstract

The survey area covers the Yeşilyurt (Pisye) plain in the north, Sarnıçköy (Pladasa) and Akbük Bay in the south, within the borders of Muğla. The epigraphic studies carried out in this area indicate the presence of a koinon between Pisye and Pladasa, the two significant cities in the region. There are also settlements of Londeis (Çiftlikköy), Leukoideis (Çıpı), Koloneis (Yeniköy) in the territory of the koinon. During the surveys, many different types of burial structures were encountered within the territory of the koinon, where a scattered settlement model is visible. This study particularly focuses on vaulted chamber tombs, chamber tombs and rock-cut tombs in the territory. As a result of the survey, 6 vaulted chamber tombs, 6 chamber tombs and 16 rock-cut tombs were evaluated in this study. The date of the vaulted chamber tombs coincides during the Macedonian rule in the koinon of Pisye-Pladasa, which began with Asandros in 323 BC and continued until 197 BC by Philippos V in the region. The construction date of the chamber tombs in the koinon territory points out a period after 197 BC within the ruling system of Rhodes. However, the chamber tomb at the site of Asartepe in the abandoned village of Tınaz is dated to the Late Geometric period in the light of the context ceramic findings in similar tombs. The rock-cut tombs that were used in the rural settlement model in the region have to be dated between IInd century BC and IInd century AD.
