Özet:

Recent archaeological excavations carried out between 2004-2013 in the eastern Lycian city of Arycanda in S.W. Turkey, have exposed a late antique quarter that includes several well-dated deposits in several buildings such as Bathhouse, a Peristyle House and related spaces. These ceramic deposits yielded significant fine red slipped and coarse wares from the late antique period. A table amphora form named AF1 from Arycanda has morphologically unique specifications according to its clay specifications. The ceramic data from the deposits at Arycanda have been shown that AF1 was in heavy use in the Vth century A.D. According to technical observations on the fired clays of the Arycanda examples indicated here, eastern Lycian workshops might have produced these vessels. Analogical comparisons of morphologies and clays suggest that this form spread out to other parts of Lycia and the surrounding regions in Late Antiquity. Similar examples from Paphos indicate that AF1 was also possibly exported to Western Cyprus. This paper aims to present and discuss some thoughts on morphological specifications, chronology, possible production sites, and distributions of AF1
