Abstract

Late Antique Sigillata From Adramytteion (Ören/Balıkesir): A Comparative Material AnalysisThe purpose of this paper is to present the range of fine wares used at Adramytteion (modern Ören-Balıkesir) in late antiquity. Specimens were acquired from various parts of the city during excavations in 2012-2013. A particularly large quantity of late antique sigillata was found from a sondage (S9) near Bergaztepe between areas A and B, suggesting late antique occupation of the area. Late antique sigillata finds were also made from Area A in the modern city center and the nearby Area E located to the northeast. In both areas, remains of buildings were unearthed that were apparently used as warehouses in the 12 th -13 th centuries. A few examples were also obtained from Area D. Architectural remains in this area are associated with a residential complex.
