Abstract
In this study, the distribution of the monolithic columns produced in the ancient granite quarries in the Troad Region was analyzed by archaeometric methods in Western Anatolia coasts. Within this framework, Geologic samples were taken from the Akçakeçili and Koçali quarries located in the Troad with the Kozak quarry located in the Mysia. In addition, archaeological samples were taken from fragmentary granite columns in the Sanctuary of Apollon Smintheus, Serapeion in Pergamon, Smyrna Agora, Tlos and Side. The collected samples were examined by thin section, qualitative mineralogical - petrographic and geochemical analysis methods.The results of this analyses demonstrate that the granite columns from Smintheion 1, Smintheion 2, Agora of Smyrna 2, Tlos Stadium and Side Theater could have been originated in the Troadic quarries, while certain samples from Agora of Smyrna 2, Pergamon/Red Hall and Tlos Theater could have originated in the Kozak quarry.
Özet
Bu çalışmada, Troas Bölgesi’ndeki antik granit ocaklarında üretilen monolit sütunlarının Batı Anadolu kıyılarındaki dağılımı arkeometrik yöntemler ile irdelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda, Troas Bölgesi’ndeki Akçakeçili ve Koçali ocakları ile Mysia Bölgesi’ndeki Kozak ocağından jeolojik örnekler alınmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra, Apollon Smintheus Kutsal Alanı, Pergamon’daki Serapeion, Smyrna Agorası, Tlos ve Side’deki parçalanmış granit sütunlardan arkeolojik örnekler alınmıştır. Toplanan örnekler; ince kesit, kalitatif mineralojik - petrografik ve jeokimyasal analiz yöntemleri ile incelenmiştir.Analiz sonuçları; Smintheion 1, Smintheion 2, Smyrna Agorası 2, Tlos Stadyum ve Side Tiyatro sütunla-rına ait örneklerin Troas; Smyrna Agorası 1, Pergamon/Kızıl Avlu ve Tlos Tiyatro örneklerinin ise Kozak kökenli olabileceğini göstermiştir.
