Abstract

Arkeolojik alanlarda jeofizik çalışmalar, yeraltında gömülü kültürel mirasların konum ve geometrilerinin araştırılmasında klasik arkeolojik tekniklere göre daha ekonomik, hızlı ve ayrıca tahribatsız çözüm sunan etkin arkeojeofizik yöntemler kullanmaktadır. Bunlardan en yaygın olanları manyetik, yer elektrik ve yer radarı (GPR) yöntemleridir. Bu çalışmada, Antalya’nın Serik ilçesi, Pamfilya bölgesinde Aspendos ile Perge’nin ortasında bulunan Sillyon antik kentinin Stadyum alanında olası gömülü arkeolojik yapı kalıntılarının görüntülenmesi için arkeojeofizik bir çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda çalışma alanında arkeojeofiziğin tahribatsız yöntemlerinden olan düşey gradiyometrik manyetik toplam alan, dipol-dipol iki boyutlu elektrik özdirenç ve yer radarı yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular çerçevesinde kazı çalışmalarına yön verebilecek saptamalar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Stadyum bölgesinin orta kısımında tribünlere ait manyetik anomali bulguları elde edilmiş, yine stadyumun kuzey cephesinde ise alanı diklemesine kesen su akış yolu bulunduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışma, Sillyon antik kentinin tarihi ve arkeolojik önemine katkı sağlamaktadır.

Abstract

Geophysical studies in archaeological areas use effective archeogeophysical methods that offer a more economical, faster and non-destructive solution compared to classical archaeological techniques in investigating the location and geometry of buried cultural heritages. The most common of these are magnetic, ground electric and ground penetrating radar (GPR) methods. In this study, an archeogeophysical study was carried out to display possible buried archaeological remains in the Stadium area of the ancient city of Sillyon, located in the Pamphylia region of Antalya's Serik district, in the middle of Aspendos and Perge. In this context, vertical gradiometric magnetic total field, dipole-dipole two-dimensional electrical resistivity and ground radar methods, which are non-destructive methods of archaeogeophysics, were used in the study area. Within the framework of the findings obtained, determinations were made that could guide the excavation works. Magnetic anomaly findings of the stands were obtained in the middle part of the stadium area, and it is thought that there is a water flow path that cuts the area vertically on the north side of the stadium. This study contributes to the historical and archaeological importance of the ancient city of Sillyon.
