Özet
The
excavations on the Tepecik settlement at Patara furnish important new evidence
for the mushroom-rimmed amphorae in the 4th c. B.C. This evidence is based
primarily on the ceramics recovered from a back-filled burnt soil layer in a
deposit located on the Tepecik settlement. These finds include eight amphorae
and two unguentaria. One of these amphorae is Lycian, and seven others belong
to the mushroom-rimmed amphora type. Our analysis indicates that the
mushroom-rimmed amphora reflects production and distribution of commodities
generated under the aegis of the Hecatomnid dynasty in Karia and the mushroom rim
could have been used as a geographical marker, a ›brand‹ by the Hekatomnids
during the 4th c.
