Özet:

The ancient city of Sillyon (Karahisar-ı Teke) is located on a high hill known as Asar hill among the people in the Yanköy neighborhood of Serik District, Antalya province. In the Ancient Period, Sillyon became one of the important cities of the region. Today, there are ruins bearing the traces of the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Turkish Periods. In the region that is located on the Antalya and Alanya routes, the Turkish domination was achieved during the Anatolian Seljuk period by the seizure of Antalya and then Alaiye (Alanya) in the first quarter of the 13th century. The region, which was dominated by the Hamidids at the beginning of the 14th century, joined the Ottoman lands between 1390-1399 during the reign of Yıldırım Bayezid. Sillyon's name in the Turkish Period is known as Karahisar-ı Teke. Some excavations were carried out in 2020 in Kale Masjid, which is thought to have been built after the Karahisar-ı Teke was under Seljuk domination. The ceramics that constitute the subject of this study are generally dated to the period between the 13th century and the beginning of the 15th century. Among the ceramics examined, in addition to the sgrafitto, primer decoration (slip), monochrome glazed and unglazed ceramics which are dated to the Principals and Early Ottoman Period, ceramics were also found in the Cyprus production sgrafitto technique. These ceramics are the result of the political and commercial mobility of the region in the 13th and 14th centuries.
