EARLY IRON AGE POTTERY FROM HALICARNASSUS PENINSULA: TWO NEW AMPHORA FRAGMENTS FROM PEDASA
Özet
The recent surveys and excavations carried out in Pedasa and its territory, one of the Lelegian settlements in the Halicarnassus Peninsula, present new evidence which sheds light on the Early Iron Age settlements and the culture of the region. Pedasa enjoyed a broad territory extending from the Konacik district to the ridge of Torba. The site is characterized by local burial customs, particularly the large number of burial tumuli. The pottery encountered in these tumuli enhances our knowledge of the local pottery style of coastal Caria. The amphora fragments evaluated in this study are among the finds uncovered in one of the tumuli located at Sivricam Tepe to the south of Pedasian acropolis.
