“…with steep slopes descending to the valley of the Aglasun river to the south and bordered to the north by Zencirli Tepe (1,782m). The geological substrate of the area is made up of Lycian nappe limestone and ophiolitic sequences, overlain by limestone breccia and sandstone-shale flysh deposits (Degryse et al 2008). The bedrock is covered by highly weathered limestone, the result of karstic processes that have produced small rock fragments and clayey soils.…”

“…la). Since the first excavation in 1989, research at Sagalassus has been carried out in close cooperation with scientists from various disciplines in order to reconstruct the city's palaeo-economy and palaeo-ecology (Waelkens 1993;2004b;Waelkens, Poblome 1993;1995;Degryse, Waelkens 2008;Waelkens, Bes forthcoming). While this research initially focused on the urban site, between 1993 and 1998 reconnaissance surveys explored the city's ca.…”

In 2005, during the annual ‘intensive’ archaeological survey in the peri-urban zone of Sagalassus (Pisidia, southwest Anatolia), the remains of an extensive Classical-Hellenistic settlement were identified at Düzen Tepe, 1.8km southwest of Sagalassus. The results of three seasons of site investigation (2005–2007), comprising archaeological and geophysical surveys, architectural and topographical mapping, test soundings, and archaeometric and environmental research, are presented here, together with a discussion of the settlement's most probable socio-economic background. According to the latest results of all excavated or sampled survey ceramic artefacts and AMS C14 dating of faunal remains, the (proto-)urban settlement at Düzen Tepe was inhabited during the fifth to second century BC. It is the first of its kind to shed light on the material culture of the ancient inhabitants of the region, the ‘Pisidians’.
