Emecik Apollon Tapınağı’nda Bulunan Adak Heykelciklerin Hammadde Kaynağı Araştırması

Abstract

Emecik-Datça’da bulunan Arkaik Dönem’e tarih-lendirilen Apollon kutsal alanında yapılan çalışmalarda ele geçen 85 adet kireçtaşı heykelcik ICP-OES ve ICP-MS teknikleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Hammadde kaynağını bulmaya yönelik olarak yapılan çalışmada olası kaynak olarak Kıbrıs’tan ve Datça yarımadasındaki oluşumlardan jeolojik örnekler toplanmıştır. Örneklerin ince-kesitleri üzerinde yapılan mikro paleontolojik inceleme hammadde kaynağı olan kireçtaşının planktonik formiferal içeriğe sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Nadir toprak elementleri ve diğer eser element analizlerine göre, 85 heykelcik Grup 1 ve Grup 2 olarak ikiye ayrılmıştır. Grup 1 olarak sınıflandırılan heykel-ciklerin yerel üretim olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Grup 2’de yer alan heykelciklerin jeokimyasal özellikleri ise Kıbrıs’ta Pakhna formasyonundan alınan jeolojik örneklerle uyumludur. Böylelikle çalışmada elde edilen veriler, Kıbrıs kökenli hammadde ile yapılan heykelciklerin yanı sıra az sayıda da olsa eş-zamanlı olarak ya da ilk ithal örneklerden sonra Emecik’te yerel üretim olduğunu kanıtlamaktadır. Bu bulgu Arkaik Dönem içinde önemli bir yere sahip kireçtaşı heykelcikler için ilk kez Kıbrıs dışında bir yerel üretim olduğunu göstermesi açısından önemlidir.

Provenance Study of Votive Figurines from the Sanctuary of Apollon in Emecik

Abstract

Eighty-five limestone figurines found in the archaic sanctuary of Apollon within the territory of Knidos, near the modern Emecik village of Datça were investigated by means of ICP-OES and ICP-MS techniques. The aim of this study was to determine the provenance of the raw materials of the figurines from Emecik. Geological reference samples collected from the Datça peninsula and Cyprus were investigated as the possible origin. Micropaleontologic analysis by thin sections was applied to identify planktonic foraminiferal species in the samples. Based upon REEs and trace element contents, Emecik figurines are characterized into Group 1 and Group 2. The raw material of the Group 1 figurines has been identified as local. The geochemical composition of Group 2 showed high similarity with examples collected at outcrops from the Pakhna formation in Cyprus, although they exhibit minor variations. Our data suggest that in parallel with the pre-dominance of the Cypriote source, simultaneous or asynchronous use of the local limestone type was evident in Emecik. This result can imply different connections and of itinerant sculptor routes from the Datça Peninsula to the other regions.
