İnşa Tekniği ve Plan Olarak Doğu Akdeniz Geleneğinde Bir Saray: Oylum Höyük Orta Tunç Çağı I Sarayı

Year 2024, Issue: 14, 15 - 46, 15.11.2024

Abstract

Oylum Höyük’te, son yıllarda Kuzeybatı Alan’da yürütülen kazı çalışmalarında Orta Tunç Çağı I’e tarihlenen büyük bir saray yapısı açığa çıkarılmıştır. Bir yangın tahribatı ile son bulan yapıda, yangın sı- rasında ölen iki kadına ait iskelet ile kırılmış ve alt kısımları eksik kaplar bulunmuş olup bunlar bir saldırı ve yağmalamaya işaret etmektedir. Mekânlar içinde açığa çıkan ocaklar, kil sekiler üzerindeki öğütme taşları ve depolama kaplarına ait parçalar, sarayın açığa çıkartılan bölümünün mutfak, depo, kiler ve işliklerden oluştuğunu göstermektedir.
Yaklaşık 1050 m2’lik bölümü açığa çıkarılan anıtsal yapının kalın duvarları kerpiçle inşa edilmiştir. Batısında bir avlu, doğusunda ise kerpiç bir teras bulunan sarayın dikdörtgen planlı ana bölümü iki aks üzerinde yer alan mekân dizilerinden oluşmaktadır. Çok katlı olan Oylum Höyük Sarayı’nın mimari açıdan en yakın benzerleri Tilmen Höyük OTÇ Sarayı, Alalah Yarimlim Sarayı ve Tell Mardikh Batı Sarayı’dır (Fig. 4a-d). Bir avlu kanadı boyunca uzanan mekân dizilerinden oluşan çok katlı saray planı, avlular çevresine yerleştirilmiş mekânlardan oluşan geleneksel Suriye ve Mezopotamya saray planlarından farklıdır. Plan anlayışı dışında, kalın kerpiç duvarlar, çok katlı olduklarını gösteren merdiven odaları, ahşap sütun ve sütun altlıkları kullanımı Oylum Höyük OTÇ I Sarayı, Tilmen Höyük OTÇ Sarayı ve Alalah Yarimlim Sarayı’nın ortak özelliklerdir. MÖ 2. binyılın başlarında ortaya çıkan bu mimari gelenek, Suriye saray mimarisinde Doğu Akdeniz’in özellikle kuzey kesimine özgü yeni bir anlayışı ortaya koymaktadır.

A Palace in the Eastern Mediterranean Tradition as Construction Technique and Plan: Oylum Höyük Middle Bronze Age I Palace

Year 2024, Issue: 14, 15 - 46, 15.11.2024

Abstract

In recent years, excavations in the Northwest Area of Oylum Höyük have revealed a large palace structure dating back to the Middle Bronze Age I. In the building, which was destroyed by a fire, the skeletons of two women who died during the fire and broken vessels with missing lower parts were found, indicating an attack and looting. The hearths uncovered within the spaces, along with grinding stones on clay platforms and fragments of storage vessels, indicate that the excavated section of the palace consisted of kitchens, storage rooms, cellars, and workshops. The thick walls of the monumental building, of which approximately 1050 m2 was uncovered, were built with mud bricks. The rectangular planned main part of the palace, which has a courtyard in the west and a mud brick terrace in the east, consists of a series of spaces on two axes. Architectually, the multi- storeyed Oylum Höyük Palace has the closest parallels in Tilmen Höyük MBA Palace, Alalah Yarimlim Palace and Tell Mardikh West Palace (Fig. 4a-d). The multi-storey palace plan, consisting of space series extending along a courtyard wing, differs from the traditional Syrian and Mesopotamian palace plans, which contain spaces arranged around courtyards. Apart from the plan concept, thick mud-brick walls, stairwells showing that they are multi-storey, and using of wooden columns and column bases are common features of the Oylum MBA I Palace, Tilmen Höyük MBA Palace and Alalah Yarimlim Palace. This architectural tradition which emerged in early 2nd millennium BC, reveals a new understanding of Syrian palace architecture, especially in the northern part of the Eastern Mediterranean.
