Özet:

Some results of the 2010 survey conducted in Central Lycia within the framework of the Stadiasmus Patarensis are given here for the region east of Kaş. First we introduce the Roman road connecting Antiphellos with the Claudian coastal road, which is noteworthy for its meticulous engineering and for its fine state of preservation. This 3.7–5 m wide road, constructed to a high standard, underlines together with two other roads previously mentioned by French and Bean the importance of Antiphellos as the main port of the region. The settlements of Asargediği and Asartepe near the village of Bayındır with ruins dating from the Classical and Hellenistic periods show that the route existed in Pre–Roman times. In Asargediği and around the village of Bayındır we recorded six sarcophagi with inscriptions dating from the Imperial Period. They show that the territory belonged not to the very closeby polis of Antiphellos but rather to Phellos. From ethnica such as Ἀντιφελλείτης, Ἀπερλείτης ἀπὸ Ἰσίνδων and Παταρεῖς mentioned in these inscriptions it is clear that the region was a center of migration even from the neighboring cities and possessed in antiquity a cosmopolitan structure.
