Erzurum İkiztepeler Tumuli: The Re-Evaluation of Tumulus IV with Tomb Finds

Abstract

The İkiztepeler Tumuli, located approximately 14 km north of Erzurum, consist of five tumuli, lo-cated in a 34 acre area of land between the Gülpınar and Kırmızıtaş neighborhoods. Three of the five tumuli excavations were carried out in 1965 by Hamid Z. Herman Vary Kosay. Number I, IV and V tumuli excavated provide important data for the history of the region. In the excavation reports examined, it is seen that in particular Tumuli IV has important data with its architectural features and tomb finds. The tumuli were superficially evaluated in the studies of Koşay and Vary, as belonging to a Hellenistic Period context. Tumulus IV and its tomb finds, which were re-examined within the scope of this research, are here dated to a more specific time period. This paper aims to shed light on the history of Erzurum and its environs, where relatively little information is available concerning its Hellenistic past and to provide data for more comprehensive studies to be carried out in the future.
