Abstract

This study focuses on Attic black-glazed wares recovered from temples and altars dedicated to Artemis in the Sanctuary of Apollo at Claros during campaigns from 2001 until 2006. Claros was one of the three major oracles of Antiquity, where Artemis and Leto were worshipped alongside Apollo. Archaeological evidence demonstrates that the goddess was worshipped continuously from the eighth/seventh century BCE until the abandonment of the sanctuary in the fourth century CE. Attic black-glazed ware appears to be the most prevalent pottery type at Claros during the fifth and the fourth centuries BCE, when it was produced and circulated widely across the ancient world. Pottery recovered at sanctuaries is significant because it reveals not only the characteristics and development of cults but also the socioeconomic and cultural structure, as well as commercial networks, of the cities of these sanctuaries.

Klaros Artemis Sektöründen Siyah Firnisli Attika Seramikleri

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Klaros Apollon Kutsal Alanı’nda, tanrıça Artemis’e adanmış tapınak ve sunak alanlarında 2001–2006 yılları arasında ele geçmiş siyah
firnisli Attika seramikleri incelenmektedir. Antik dönemin üç büyük kehanet merkezinden biri olan Klaros’ta Apollon dışında Artemis ve Leto da tapım görmekteydi. Arkeolojik veriler, tanrıçanın MÖ sekizinci/yedinci yüzyıldan kutsal alanın terk edildiği MS dördüncü yüzyıla kadar kesintisiz tapım gördüğünü göstermektedir. Çalışma konusunu oluşturan siyah firnisli Attika seramiklerinin antik dünyada yaygın olarak üretildiği ve kullanım gördüğü MÖ beşinci ve dördüncü yüzyıllarda Klaros’ta da baskın seramik türünü oluşturduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Kutsal alanlarda ele geçen seramikler, kültün karakteri ve gelişimiyle birlikte kutsal alanın bağlı olduğu kentin kültürel, ekonomik ve sosyal yapısını ve ticari ilişkilerini ortaya koyması açısından önem taşımaktadır.
