Salda-Yeşilova Survey: The Necropolis of Takina in the Context of Digital Epigraphy and New Inscriptions Found During the Survey

Abstract

This article presents the epigraphic results of surveys carried out in the Yeşilova district of Burdur province as part of the Salda – Yeşilova Surveys in 2022. In this context, the evaluation focuses on old and new epigraphic materials discovered in the centre of Yeşilova, particularly in the village of Yarışlı. This study presents a digital and photogrammetric analysis of the research carried out in the village of Yarışlı since the 1800s by various researchers, including J. Arundell, A. H. Smith, W. M Ramsay, G. E. Bean, G. Labarre, M. Özsait, and N. Özsait. The focus is on the necropolis of Takina and Yeşilova. The inscriptions on chamosorions and sarcophagi in the Takina necropolis have been scanned using the photogrammetric method in order to check their legibility. After the traditional methods of reading, the images obtained from the sarcophagi scanned by technological methods were compared with the results of previous researchers. As a result, two inscriptions in the Takina necropolis were enhanced and corrected. In addition, two new inscriptions were discovered in the area, one of which is well preserved. Outside this area, three new inscriptions were discovered, one a fragment of a tomb, one a table and crater offering to the god Men, and one an offering to Dionysus.
