Özet

Periodic archaeological surveys that were begun in 1994 for the first time surveyed the eastern part of Lycia bordering Pamphylia and Pisidia and enabled the recording of numerous farmhouses, press workplaces and agricultural areas. These presses are located in town-centers or in the agricultural areas near the towns. Some of the farmhouses, especially numerous on the way from Treberma to Onobara, have press workplaces. These work-areas can be found in courtyards, for example at Dogu Ciftlik II, Mersincik and Gedeller farmhouses, or indoors, at the farmhouses of Kessener, Yalniz Mezar and Akcinar. The workrooms of Kessener and Akcinar farmhouses have two beam sockets to house the ends of the press beams while the others have only one. In addition, press workplaces are located within independent chambers and these are found on the Treberma-Onobara route and also at Alakisle. It was observed that independent press workplaces with basins hewn in the bedrock are found next to farmhouses and in the fields that had been terraced in antiquity for farming.
