Archaeological finds obtained from the settlements, sanctuaries, and necropoleis of the southeastern Aegean provide ample and detailed information about the eastern Mediterranean and the cultural and commercial ties established in the archaic period. Among all the imported votive objects, Cypriot votive figurines from the sanctuaries of Samos Heraion, Miletos Aphrodite, Emecik Apollon, and Rhodes constitute, without exception, the largest group in terms of quantity and typological diversity. Finds from the Pedasa Athena sanctuary on the Lelegian Peninsula confirm that the city was in fact a part of the Mediterranean cultural and commercial network.

Pedasa Athena Kutsal Alanı Arkaik Dönem Kıbrıs Mortarları ve Bölgeler Arası Ticari İlişkilerdeki Rolü

Öz

Uzak bölgeler arası ilişkilerin yorumlanmasında seramik malzemenin dağılımı sıklıkla kullanılan verilerin başında gelmektedir. 19. yy.’ın sonları ve 20. yy.’ın başlarında, Knidos Yarımadası’nda gerçekleştirilen ve zamanla malzemesi dünya müzelerine dağılan kazılar, oldukça heyecan yaratmış ve bir süre ilgi odağı olmuştur1. Ortaya çıkarılan buluntular Karia’nın Dor coğrafyası içerisinde kalan bu bölümünün yerel seramik geleneği ile Ege ve doğu Akdeniz kültür dünyası arasındaki ilişkilerinin anlaşılmasını sağlayan veriler sunmuştur2. Buluntular arasında yer alan Kıbrıs kökenli figürinler, 1990’lı yıllar ile bölgede artan kazı ve araştırmalardan elde edilecek sonuçların ilk habercileri olarak dikkat çekerler. Kıyı Karia’nın kutsal alanlarının malzeme çeşitliği hakkında önemli verilere ulaşılan Knidos Yarımadası üzerinde yer alan Emecik Apollon Kutsal Alanı kazılarında ele geçen Kıbrıs kökenli kireçtaşı ve terrakotta figürinler, bölgenin uluslararası ilişkiler ağı içerisindeki rolünü göstermesi bakımından oldukça önemlidir.
