Archaeological Survey Project in the Central District at Çanakkale in 2016-2017: Preliminary Results
Journal Title: Ankara Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The subject of this study is to constitute the preliminary results of the Çanakkale Central District surface survey conducted in 2016-2017. It has been determined that, especially with the settlements newly discovered in the surface survey, previously known Bronze and Iron Age settlements are mostly located around streams; at three different locations, namely the cost, lowlands around the coast, and inland hill-top. It is known that the geomorphological development of the district had negative effects on the locations of settlements. It has been determined within the scope of the surface survey that, with the coastal line changes of the Hellespont, a major part of settlements such as Işıldak Tepe Altı, Yarım Höyük and Saltık was destroyed; and settlements such as Arisbe, and Dardanos remained at inland locations as a result of streams lling the coast. This project has been developed upon the problem of whether there are settlements in the region that include contemporary layers with Troy. The evidence in relation to this subject has been provided with the discovery of previously unknown settlements providing contemporary materials with the Early Bronze, Middle Bronze and Iron Ages layers of Troy. Such settlements may include the discovery of pottery in the Köserelik contemporary with Troy I; the discovery of handmade Early Iron Age pottery on the coast, in Dalyan Höyük and Saltık, and in inland Zeytintarla, as well as Dalyan Höyük and Yarım Höyük, where we found Archaic Period pottery. Another important result is the discovery of new fortied settlements in the Archaic Period. Plan of the fortication walls were drafted with the coordinates obtained through Cors, and aerial photographs and videos taken with a drone. Accordingly, it has been understood that the fortications had some common traits such as having bastions in weak areas, and built with dry wall technique with roughly worked stones that follows the topography. The discovery of stone Tumuli, in the region during 2016 and 2017 seasons is an innovation regarding Troad Region burial traditions though its closest parallels were found in Thrace and the Balkans dated to Bronze and Iron Ages. Preliminary results obtained in the surface survey contributes to the Bronze and Iron Ages settlement archaeology in the Troad in terms of the addition of newly found settlements contemporary with Troy.
