The Settlements in the Yamanlar Mountain in the Late Antiquity Period: The Problems on Organizations of Place and Chronology

Öz

The survey in the Yamanlar Mountain which first started in the 19th century
was then continued by the author of this article in the 1990’s. Together with Archaic, Classic and Hellenistic Periods settlement and fortifications, the late Byzantine
and Ottoman periods remains were found in his surveys. Besides these remains,
some ruins created by the stones in different sizes were discovered. About fifty
ruins, called “living place”, were established in the survey. The problems on these
living places will be solved by the detailed observations and excavations made in
the elected sites. The first chronological observation of these sites was that they
had a short living period. Some rarely discovered pottery and roof tiles fragments
gave us information about the date of these sites. Accordingly, these sites were dated
approximately between the fourth and sixth century A.D. and after that all of them
were suddenly disappeared.
