Abstract

Among the large pottery products in Old Smyrna settlement, there are louteria and bathtubs which are known as cleaning and purification materials. Both of these classes started to be represented with considerable amount of findings in the 7th century BC layers which followed the extensive construction activities the settlement has witnessed in the Early Archaic period. The focus of this study is comprised with analyzing the louteria and bathtubs in the mound chronologically. Otherwise, determining their shape and decorative features; their shape development from the Early Archaic to the end of the Classical period; comparing the Old Smyrna examples to their similar in other Ionian cities and in overseas centers are also discussed. It is hoped that this article will make contribution to understanding the social and daily life in Ionia particularly in the Archaic period.

ESKİ SMYRNA BAYRAKLI LOUTERİON VE BANYO TEKNESİ BULUNTULARI

Abstract

Eski Smyrna yerleşiminde büyük boyutlu seramik ürünler arasında temizlik ve arınma gereçleri olarak bilinen louterion ve banyo tekneleri bulunmaktadır. Yerleşimin Erken Arkaik dönemde tanık olduğu geniş çaplı imar faaliyetlerinin ardından gelen MÖ 7. yüzyıl tabakalarında adı geçen her iki form hatırı sayılır miktarda buluntu ile temsil edilmeye başlar. Bu çalışmanın odağını louterion ve banyo teknelerinin höyükte kronolojik olarak incelenmesi teşkil eder. Bunun dışında form ve bezeme özelliklerinin saptanması; Erken Arkaik dönemden Klasik dönemin sonuna kadar olan form gelişimleri; Eski Smyrna buluntularının İonia’nın diğer kentleri ve deniz aşırı merkezlerdeki benzerleriyle karşılaştırılması da ele alınır. Bu yazının İonia’da özellikle Arkaik dönemde sosyal ve günlük yaşamın anlaşılmasına katkı sağlaması umulmaktadır.
