Özet:

Mutaf Tepe Tumulus is situated in the city of Aydın’s Çine district in Mutaf Tepe Location. In the historical process, the Karia Region BC VII-VI. century, remained under the rule of Lydia. With the defeat of the Lydians to the Persians in 546 BC, the Persian period began in Caria. When the Caria Region is examined in general, it is seen that the Persian and Lydian influence is less. Mutaf Tepe Tumulus, which is the subject of the study, is an important example of Lydian architectural features with Persian influence in the Inner Caria Region. Mutaf Tepe Tumulus, which is covered within the scope of the study, was first identified with the surveys carried out in 1996, but it was not shared with the scientific community as a comprehensive publication. Within the scope of the study, Mutaf Tepe Tumulus was compared with the tumuli in Lydia and Caria Region. The gable roof on the upper cover of the building has been used in the tumuli in the Lydian Region since end of the 6th century BC. Mutaf Tepe Tumulus was observed to have Lydian architectural influences due to the similarities of the wall blocks, cover of the gable roof at the top, double-winged door and “L” rotating blocks, and it was proposed to date the tumulus at the end of the 6th century BC to the beginning of the 5th century BC
