Özet
In this study, unguentarium, lykion, bottle and mortar examples, most of which were obtained from the Andriake Synagogue and eleven different types of sealed or not sealed unguentaria belonging to the Late Antique Period, obtained from the city in general are evaluated; furthermore form and typological development of cosmetic, medical and liturgical vessels in Andriake are analyzed as a whole. Analyzed ceramics are dated from the Hellenistic Period to the Early Byzantine Period. Apart from this, analysis of sealed samples is quite important in the sense of diversifing the typology of unguentaria in the region belonging to the Late Antique Period. On the basis of sealed unguentaria samples obtained from Andriake, it is observed according to recent studies that local production was undertaken throughout Lycian cities. In Myra, the capital city of Andriake, religion based oil culture of St. Nicholas belonging to the Late Antique Period and sealed unguentaria production dealing with this, is well known. Another local production of the Lycian Region are the unguentaria samples named as Esen Type. Two samples in this type obtained from Andriake represented the existence of local production on the coasts of Lycain cities apart from the Esen Valley. In this way, the distribution area of the Esen type samples are expanded. Another material group obtained from the Synagogue in Andriake are the medical vessels produced in Patara and named as lykion. Samples in Andriake have similar form, clay and slip characteristics with the Patara ones which shows the trade relations between Patara and Andriake in the Hellenistic Period. A miniature mortar was also obtained from the Andriake Synagogue. In this sample, it is suggested that materials such as medicine, paint etc. were crushed. This miniature mortar is still the only sample for the city and region. A unique bottle was obtained from the harbour structure of Andriake. On this container, there is wicker coughing motif in slip painting technique. This undercoating painting technique on ceramics in the region is dated to the Early Byzantine Period. In this article, aromatic, medical and liturgical vessels in the seaport of Andriake which has a broad commerce network are evaluated; furthermore samples which could be local productions of the Lycian region and the ceramic commerce between Andriake and the Lycian cities are analyzed.
