Özet:

The settlement history dates back to the Neolithic age and has an important place in the history of the Western Anadolu, the Kadıkalesi hole is located in the eastern part of the Gulf of Kuşadası, on the coastal plain between Kuşadası - Davut. Within up to 200 meters from the current coastline of the Kadıkalesi, due to its location near the coast, the natural environmental changes associated with the coast have been influential throughout the settlement history. Therefore, the determination of the natural environmental changes that occur from the beginning of the settlement to the present day in the nearby town and in the nearby town has been seen as a necessity for archaeological studies. Identification of the changes that occur in the alivial areas in the coastal areas is possible through the study of the alivial/colivial accumulations in this area. In this study, the method of the alivion dust extraction was used in order to determine the paleocographic characteristics and development of the area where the female dust is located and to reveal the alivion stratigraphy of the area surrounding the dust. With the method of the dust extraction, 9 dust extractions were performed in and around the female and the obtained sedimantological data and paleocographic assessments were made. According to the data obtained from the bulk findings surrounding the female, the alvium stratigraphy consists of five main units. These are the ground fillings before the Middle Holocaust, the Middle Holocaust seafarers, the late Holocaust seafarers, the current fluvial seafarers and the cultural layers belonging to the hole. The bulk scans on and around the castle have shown that the sea waters that rise during the Transgression of the Middle Holocaust around the Kadikale have been put into the inner parts of the 1 to 2 km from the current coastline. Due to the morphological nature of the area surrounding the hole, environmental changes that occur due to the transgression of the Central Holosen occurred on a narrow coastal line. In this period, when the coastal line progressed most towards the ground, it was determined that the female settlement area from the east part of a thin neck was in a semi-linked to the ground.

Kadıkalesi is located on the coastal plain between Kuşadası and Davutlar. Due to its location and geographical characteristics, this coastal region has been a suitable area for the establishment of settlements from Neolithic to present. Kadıkalesi is located 200 meters inland from the current coastline. Owing to its location, natural environment changes related to the coastal changes have been effective throughout the settlement history. Determination of natural environment changes occurring in Kadıkalesi and its surroundings from the first settlement to the present is important in terms of archaeological studies. changes in the Holocene can be determined by examining alluvial / colluvial deposits in this environment. The aim of this study is to determine the palaeogeographical changes during Holocene using core drilling data conducted alluvial plain surrounds Kadıkalesi mound. Accordingly, in this study, 9 core drillings were carried out by Kuşadası-Davutlar coastal plain and in the vicinity of Kadıkalesi. According to data obtaining from the core drillings, the alluvial stratigraphy encompasses five main units around Kadıkalesi. These are from bottom to the surface; terrestrial sediments deposited before Mid-Holocene, Mid-Holocene marine sediments, Late Holocene swamp sediments, current fluvial sediments and cultural materials of Kadıkalesi mound. The sedimentological and geomorphological evaluation of drilling data revealed that coastline has progressed 1-2 km inland in the Middle Holocene. At this time Kadıkalesi mound and its immediate surroundings area was surrounded by the sea and it was in the form of a peninsula connected to the land by a thin neck from the eastern part in Mid Holocene.
