Imported Pottery from Sinabiç (Dalisandos?): Eastern Sigillata A, Cypriot Sigillata, Lead-Glazed Pottery
Abstract
It is suggested that the settlement area of the ancient city of Sinabıç is the ancient city of Dalisandos in ancient and modern sources. The surveys conducted here revealed a large amount of Hellenistic and Roman pottery. In this study, imported groups consisting of Eastern Sigillata A, Cypriot Sigillata and Lead-Glazed Pottery were evaluated. Sinabıç (Dalisandos) is located on the Sertavul Pass, which connects the eastern Mediterranean coast to the interior of Anatolia. Eastern Sigillata A Ware, Cypriot Sigillata,and Lead-Glazed Pots are the popular pots of the southern and southwestern shores of Anatolia, the Syrian-Palestinian region and Cyprus in the Late Hellenistic and Early Roman periods. According to this, it is understood that Sinabıç (Dalisandos) and its surroundings had close ties with these regions in the Late Hellenistic and Early Roman periods. These imported pottery groups probably arrived to the city together. Hayes Form 2A (the late 2nd century BC to the 1st century AD), 49-50 (the late 1st century BC to the 1st century AD), 40C (Traianus period) and 60 (the 2nd century AD) types were identified among Eastern Sigillata A pots. Two parts belonging to Hayes Form P5 (the first half of the 1st century AD) and P12 (the 1st century to the first half of the 2nd century AD) were identified among Cypriot Sigillata. Two pieces of cups/kantharos bases were identified among Lead-Glazed Pottery. The two pots are generally dated to the second half of the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD.
