Abstract

Bu makalede Liman Tepe’de ele geçen üzerinde arabalı savaşçı tasviri yer alan bir Miken seramik parçasıincelenmiştir. Kapalı bir kaba ait olması gereken bu parçanın, hamurunun bol miktarda mika içermesi nedeniyle yerliüretim olduğu düşünülmektedir. Üzerinde yer alan arabalı savaşçı tasviri ise GH III’de Ege’de ve Doğu Akdeniz’deyaygın olarak görülen resimsel tarzlı, figürlü ve ikonografik anlamı olan Miken kapları üzerinde çok miktardaresmedilmiştir. Liman Tepe Miken parçası üzerinde yer alan savaşçı figürünün gövdesinin altının tamamen tasviredilmiş olması, GH IIIC’ye tarihlenen arabalı savaşçı tasvirlerinin en belirgin özelliği olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.Döneminin benzer şekilde yapılmış az sayıdaki örneğinden biri olan Liman Tepe Miken seramiği, Anadolu’da Hititİmparatorluğu’nun ve Kıta Yunanistan’da Miken krallarının çöküşü sonrası bir döneme ait olmasının yanı sıra,Doğu Akdeniz’de batıdan doğuya gerçekleştiği düşünülen göçlerle bağlantılı olması bakımından önem taşımaktadır.

A MYCENAEAN POTTERY SHERD FROM LIMAN TEPE WITH A WARRIOR ON CHARIOT AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE IN AEGEAN ARCHAEOLOGY

Abstract

In this article, a Mycenaean ceramic fragment recovered at Liman Tepe, with a depiction of a warrior with chariot, is examined. It is likely that this sherd was part of a closed vessel, and that this vessel was a local product, since the paste of the sherd contains high amounts of mica. A warrior with chariot was often depicted on Mycenaean vessels that bore pictorial representations, figures and iconographic meanings. The motif was prevalent in the Aegean and East Mediterranean in LH III. The complete delineation of the lower body of the warrior figure, as seen on the Liman Tepe fragment, is the most salient characteristic of depictions of this kind dated to LH IIIC. As one of the few examples from this period, the Liman Tepe Mycenaean ceramic has particular significance with regard to its connection with the west–east migrations thought to have taken place in the Eastern Mediterranean. It is also important for the fact that it belongs to a period after the collapse of the Hittite Empire in Anatolia and the Mycenaean kings in Mainland Greece
