Parion, one of the most important port cities of Troad, possesses great importance to Anatolian archaeology with its necropolis. Excavated continuously since 2005, a small portion of the cities southern necropolis, named Tavşandere, became the leading information provider for the understanding of the organisation of the cities burial grounds, funerary customs and grave typology. However, a small rescue excavation conducted nearly a kilometre south of the Tavşandere tends to change this situation. This rescue excavation that took place within a small-scale area revealed two cist graves and one sarcophagus. Especially one of the cist graves attracted attention with its very rich inventory of jewellery. This new burial ground possesses the potential to change our state-of-the-art knowledge on the size, topography and organisation of Parion’s southern necropolis. Evaluated under two publications this new burial ground from the hinterland of Parion still did not find its deserved place within the funerary archaeology of the Troad. This paper aims to re-evaluate this new burial ground, its topography, organisation and finds with some updated knowledge, new points of view and more in-detail comparanda. To do so, the topography, grave typology and most importantly the find repertories of this burial ground will be re-examined, compared with parallels and evaluated with the other burial grounds of the region.

The Archaeology of Anatolia Volume III: Recent Discoveries (2017-2018), 2019

There are a great number of pieces, including tomb findings, brought from Uzgur Village in Tire Museum. The most important of these is the group, consisting of 9 ceramic, 17 glass and 3 bronze pieces, found in the tomb chamber on 10.1.1981 in Uzgur Village, Tire, in the garden o f a house which belonged to a person whose name was İbrahim Gülmez. This tomb group is important regarding the richness and the variety o f the pieces it includes and the typology and the chronology o f the contemporary forms. With the data gathered from the group, as the 17 glass pieces, whose storage and protection for a long period were quite difficult, indicate, and other dated parallel examples support, the date to be suggested is the end o f the 2nd century-the beginning o f the 3rd century A.D. The existance o f two bowls o f the same form and size, two one-handled mugs o f the same form and two oil lamps o f the same size and technique among the ceramics, and the presence o f bottles o f the same form and size among the glass pieces show that they have been bought concurrently as tomb gifts with the purpose o f putting into the tomb during the funeral. The results it gives are important not only chronologically and typologically, but also for this unexploited area.
