Abstract

Interaction and memory are themes of great importance to ancient religion, history, and archaeology. Each provides a useful framework of study in its own right, but when considered together they become a powerful tool for understanding human encounters with the divine. This paper revisits a group of reli- gious images – the rock-cut votive reliefs discovered during the course of field survey in Pisidia - through the collective lens of memory and interaction, with the aim of understanding their importance in local cult and of addressing some of the ways they have been perceived and studied over time. Keeping in mind the combined themes of interaction, cult, and memory, the focus here is their: 1) modern recovery and study; 2) permanency and position in the landscape; 3) relevance and importance as devotional objects. The larger question of the relationship of these reliefs with examples found in northern Lycia and in the context of the wider Hellenistic and Roman worlds is also important to note, as is their post-Antique afterlife.

Özet

Etkileşim ve bellek; antik dönem inanç, tarih ve arkeoloji için büyük önem taşıyan temalardır. Her biri kendi içerisinde faydalı bir çalışma çerçevesi sağlar. Ancak birlikte düşünüldüğünde, insanın kutsal(i- nanç) kavramıyla karşılaşmasıyla birlikte güçlü bir araç haline gelir. Bu makalede, Pisidia Bölgesi’nde yapılan yüzey araştırması sırasında tespit edilen kayaya oyulmuş adak kabartmaları, bellek ve etki- leşimin kollektif bakış açısıyla birlikte zaman içerisinde yapılan bazı çalışmaları ve tespitlerden yola çıkarak yerel kültlerdeki önemini anlamak amacıyla bir grup inanç imgeleri tekrar gözden geçirilmiştir. Etkileşim, kült ve bellek kavramları göz önüne alınarak bir araya getirildiğinde, üzerinde durulma- sı gereken konular 1) modern dönemde yeniden kazanım ve inceleme; 2) yerleşimde konum ve kalıcı olma; 3) adak olarak kullanılan objelerin önemi ve ilişkisi şeklinde sıralanır. Sözü edilen kabartma- ların, Likya’nın kuzeyinde ele geçen örneklerle birlikte Hellenistik ve Roma dünyasında da geniş bağ- lamda ilişkisi, antikite sonrasında ölümden sonraki yaşamı göz önünde bulundurmayı değerli kılar.
