ATTIC LEKYTHOI FROM LYDIAN TERRITORY IN THE INVENTORY OF AKHİSAR ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM

Abstract

This article presents a study of two black and three red-figure Attic lekythoi from the Akhisar Museum which was found in the Lydian Territory. All have a variety of decorations such; as mythological scenes, rows of palmettes, and single palmettes. Two of them are decorated with mythological scenes; the one in black-figure belongs to the Haimon group and is dated by the first quarter of the fifth century BC. The red-figure one, on the other hand, belongs to the Carlsruhe 280 group and is dated by the fifth century BC. The other three lekythoi have palmette motif decorations. The first one is in black-figure and belongs to the Little Lion Group. It has a decoration consisting of two horizontal rows of palmettes and goes back to the early fifth century BC. The last two are squat lekythoi that belong to the red-figure and single palmette decorated. The lekythoi proves that using of Attic pottery in the Lydia Region was not limited to the city of Sardis. Accordingly, it reveals the fact that the Persian domination in the region in the 5th century BC did not affect the settlement pattern, and Attic pottery spread throughout the region. In addition, these ceramic finds give the idea that locations such as Çaltepe had different residential uses over time.
