PHOKAIA SERAMIK ÇÖPLÜĞÜ ALANI’NDAN ELE GEÇEN AMPHORALAR

Abstract

B. Anadolu’da yer alan antik kentlerde, M. Ö. 7. yüzyıldan itibaren yoğun biçimde üretilen bir form olan amphoranın ismi (Amphiphoreus ya da Amphoreus), iki taraflı anlamına sahip amphi ve pherein fiilinden üretilen phoros sözcüklerinin birleşiminden türetilmiştir. Sıvı (su, zeytinyağı, şarap vb.) veya kuru (tahıl vb.) maddelerin taşıma işleri için üretilen ve satılan bu formlar, aynı zamanda depolama faaliyetleri içinde kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada yer verilen amphoralar ise İzmir İli Foça İlçesi Atatürk Mahallesi, Akkaya Mevkii, 8 Pafta, 13 Ada 106. Parsel’de yürütülen kazılar sonucunda tespit edilmişlerdir. Bu alanda gerçekleştirilen çalışmalar da, Phokaia antik kentine ait olan Roma Dönemi’ne ait bir seramik çöplüğü ortaya çıkarılmıştır.
