2017 yılından itibaren Kabalis / Kabalia yüksek yaylalarında sürdürülen Uylupınar (Erken Kibyra) yüzey araştırmalarında, hareketli çiftçi ve çobanların kırsal yaşamlarına dair Roma Dönemi yoğun arkeolojik izleriyle karşılaşılmıştır. Bu izlerden en önemlileri, kalıcı ya da dönemsel yerleşimler, yüksek yayla kırsalında yerleşimlerle bağlantılı mezar tipleri yanında yol güzergahları ve su kaynaklarını koruyan farklı tanrılara adanmış kaya kabartmalarıdır. Bütün bu veriler, Roma Dönemi’nde bölgede yaratılan yaşam biçimi bütününün bıraktığı maddi kültür verileridir. 2017 yılında Balboura sınırı içerisinde yer alan ve bugün Ambarcık köyü Ballık mevkisinde bir mağara içerisindeki Ares kabartması ve kabartmanın hemen bitişiğindeki sekiz satırlık Hellence yazıtı tespit edilmiştir. Bu yazıt ile Ares olduğu net olarak anlaşılan kabartmanın ikonografisi, bölgede tespit edilmiş olan, benzer ikonografiye sahip diğer kabartmaların da Ares’i temsil ettiğini anlamamız için yol gösterici olmuştur. Ayrıca mağarada yer alan Ares kabartmasıyla aynı kayalıkta mağaranın girişinin önünde, kehanet yazıtı ve yanındaki küçük kabartmanın da, kehanet veren Ares ile bağlantılı olduğu anlaşılmıştır.

On the History of Religious Cults of Pisidia: rock votive reliefs

Genesis: Исторические Исследования

This article examines a group of religious images, namely votive reliefs carved in rocks, discovered during field research in Pisidia, through the prism of the collective memory of religious cults. Our goal is, on the one hand, to better understand their significance in the local cult, and on the other hand, to consider some ways of perceiving and studying such reliefs over time. The object of consideration in this article will be the rock votive reliefs of Pisidia, which will clarify some aspects of the evolution of religious cults of Pisidia in connection with its history, starting from Hellenistic and ending with Roman times. Religious cults are a topic of great importance for researchers who study ancient religion and history, as well as engage in archaeological excavations. Each of the components of this problem acts as a useful basis for conducting research, but in the process of their joint consideration, they become a powerful tool for understanding the human relationship with the divine. Based on the study of rock votive reliefs, it can be concluded that the functions possessed by the cult and ritual practices of Roman Pisidia were directly related to the audience. These functions inevitably changed over time and could be interpreted differently by different people or even by the same people in different cases.

This study estimates relative pollen productivity (RPP) for plant taxa from Southern Anatolia, an important region in the Mediterranean with a long history of human settlements. RPP estimates are required for quantitative pollen-based reconstruction of past land cover modelling. The application of the reconstruction by the REVEALS model in the Mediterranean basin is constrained due to the scarcity of the RPP values specific to the region. To better understand the relationship between vegetation cover and land use in the Mediterranean area, the present study aims to provide a set of RPPs for Turkey and the Mediterranean region. The study area centres around Gölhisar Lake in southwestern Turkey. Modern pollen data are collected from moss pollsters from 21 sites together with vegetation surveys. RPP estimates for the main taxa characteristic of the Mediterranean region are obtained (referenced to evergreen Quercus t.) using the extended R-value (ERV) model through the analysis of modern pollen assemblages. The most reliable results are acquired with the ERV sub-model 2 and Prentice’s taxon-specific method (using a Gaussian plume dispersal model) to distance-weighted vegetation data, corresponding to a Relative Source Area of Pollen (RSAP) value of 102 m. RPPs of dominant taxa in the study area are obtained for Quercus coccifera/Fagaceae (1 ± 0), Juniperus/Cupressaceae (0.279 ± 0.001), Fabaceae (0.008 ± 0.000), Pinus/Pinaceae (5.782 ± 0.011), and Poaceae (0.112 ± 0.001) and are comparable with other RPPs obtained in the Mediterranean region.
