Özet:

The past M. The Samsat, which goes down to the fourth thousand, carries the traces of many civilizations. The city, which was the capital of the Kingdom of Comagene for a while, was conquered by Muslims after the Roman and Byzantine sovereignty. The 7. of the 11th century. By the end of the century, in the city of the Byzantine and Islamic states, 12. The century begins with the domination of Selchuklu. After the Artuklu, Zengî and Eyyûbî administrations, the Samsat, who lived in the Dulkadırlı and Ottoman periods, today remains under the Atatürk barge lake. Here, many of the glass foundations were captured in the archaeological rescue excavations due to the construction of the barge. Among them, glass candles make up an important group. Most of the glass candles, which can be dated from the late Roman - Early Byzantine era, are from the Byzantine and Middle Ages Islamic times. Except for one example, all the candles are broken. In the candles made in the freezing technique, transparent colorless glass as well as cobal blue, green and green glasses were also used. There are no signs in the candles. These are typologically divided into six groups: glass-shaped, cup-shaped, strip-shaped, vazo-shaped, shoulder-shaped and egg-shaped. The glass-type pieces of them belong to the Roman or Early Byzantine period, and an empty striped candle piece belongs to the Early Byzantine period. The bullying striped candles, cassed types and end-belly-blacked candles are seen both in the Byzantine and Middle Ages Islamic period. In contrast, the vazo-type and shoulder candle examples remained from the Islamic era. Unlike others, egg-type candles were found only in Samsat caves. The dates and dates of this issue are still to be discussed. We believe that a group of cuts in the cuts belong to glass candles.
