ANTİK ÇAĞDAN TÜRK-İSLAM DÖNEMİNE ÇUKUROVA-SURİYE ARASINDA KİLİT BİR BÖLGE: ANDIRIN

Öz

En eski çağlardan itibaren yerleşim merkezlerinde yaşayan insanların, uzak mesafelerdeki kentler ile kurdukları bağlantının en önemli aracı ticaret olmuştur. Ticarette ulaşım, çoğu yerde, yüksek dağlar, derin vadiler sebebiyle zorlayıcıdır. Eskiçağda Anadolu’nun, dünyaya açıldığı önemli bölgelerden biri olan güneydeki Akdeniz limanları ile bağlantısı da Toroslardaki nehirlerin açtığı geçitlerle olmuştur. Doğu Akdeniz limanlarıyla Orta Anadolu’dan geçen ticaret yollarının bağlantısını sağlayan en önemli güzergâh, Ceyhan nehrinin açtığı geçitlerden ulaşım sağlayan, yerel halkın isimlendirmesiyle Akyol/Ağyol olarak bilinen kervan yoludur. Ağyol’un ve ona bağlanan yol güzergahlarının üzerinde, tarihin farklı dönemlerinde kurulan çok sayıda antik yerleşimler bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Ağyol’un geçtiği Andırın’ın Başdoğan bölgesi ve buradaki Sarıbıyıklı Obası ile çevresindeki antik yerleşimler araştırma konusu yapılmıştır. Böylece çalışmanın, bölgede yer alan ticari yol güzergahlarına, bu yollar üzerinde kurulan antik yerleşimlere dikkat çekerek, burada yapılacak kapsamlı araştırmalar ile eskiçağ kentlerinin lokalizasyonu ve Roma döneminin yerel krallığı Tarkhondimotos’un kuzey ve doğu yönündeki yönetim alanlarının belirlenmesi konusunda literatüre katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.

A Key Area Between Çukurova And Syria From Ancient Times To The Turkish-Islamic Period: Andırın

Öz

Since the earliest ages, trade has been the most important means of connection that people living in residential centers have established with cities far away. Transportation in trade is challenging in most places due to high mountains and deep valleys. In ancient times, Anatolia was connected to the Mediterranean ports in the south, one of the important regions where it opened to the world, through the passages opened by the rivers in the Taurus Mountains. The most important route providing the connection of the trade routes passing through the Eastern Mediterranean ports and Central Anatolia is the caravan route, known as Akyol / Ağyol by the naming of the local population, which provides transportation through the passages opened by the Ceyhan river. There are many ancient settlements established at different periods of history on the Ağyol and the road routes connecting to it. In this study, the Başdoğan zone of Andırın, through which the Ağyol passes, and the ancient settlements around it and Sarıbıyıklı Obası were made the subject of research. Thus, the study is expected to contribute to the literature on the commercial road routes in the region, the ancient settlements established on these roads, the localization of the ancient cities and the determination of the administrative areas of the local kingdom of the Roman period Tarkhondimotos in the north and east by drawing attention to the extensive research to be carried out here.
