Upon the completion of its political organisation down to the late Classical era, the agrarian activities in the Carian origin Bozburun Peninsula (southwest Anatolia) accelerated due to the exploitation of the terrain to a large extent. The demes of the Peninsula transformed themselves to peripheral economies operating under the interests of Rhodes as well as indirectly serving the international market, beginning from the 3rd century B.C. The economy, which specialized in terrace systems, and the boom thereof ultimately gave rise to tremendous demographic expansions within the region. This paper aims to estimate the Hellenistic population of an unattended deme, namely Phoinix in the countryside, by reconciling the settlement data and land exploitation rates as well as reinterpreting them in light of the historical data. The figures put forward that the Classical Phoinix experienced ca. a 255% increase as it grew into the Hellenistic period while the surplus her workforce created possibly substituted the scarce resources and served for export

Karya orijinli Bozburun Yarımadası (güneybatı Anadolu)’ndaki tarımsal faaliyetler, bölgenin Geç Klasik çağa doğru politik örgütlenmesinin tamamlanması üzerine, arazinin yoğun işletilmesine bağlı olarak büyük ölçüde hız kazanmıştır. Yarımada’daki demoslar (δήμοι), İ.Ö. 3. yy’ın başından itibaren kendilerini, Rodos’un çıkarları altında faaliyet gösteren periferideki ekonomilere dönüştürmüş, yanı sıra uluslararası pazara dolaylı hizmet verir hale gelmiştir. Teras sistemlerinde uzmanlaşan ekonomi ve yaşadığı patlama, en sonunda bölgede demografik büyüme ve genişlemelere hız vermiştir. Bu makale, kırsalda, bugüne kadar ihmal edilmiş Phoinix demosunun (δῆμος)’sinin Hellenistik nüfusunu, tarihsel veri ışığında yeniden yorumlamakla birlikte yerleşim verisi ve arazi kullanım oranlarının uyumlaştırılması yoluyla tahmin etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Sayılar, Klasik Phoinix’in, Hellenistik döneme doğru yaklaşık %255’lik bir nüfus artışı yaşadığını ortaya koymuş; işgücünün yarattığı üretim fazlası olasılıkla kıt kaynakları ikameye ve ihracata hizmet etmiştir
