Abstract

In addition to their functional use, swords represent an extraordinary form among metal weapons in terms of their symbolic values. Anatolia provides valuable insights on this very subject since the oldest examples of this weapon type come from this region and the development scheme of this form can be traced for a long time. Initially started in Eastern Anatolia at the end of the 4th Millennium BC, the production of swords continued through the succeeding millennia in different parts of the country with emerging new types and various experimental approaches reflecting technological innovations. A sword found in Kılıçini Cave near Antalya provides additional information as a southern representative of this type, which developed from a distinct dagger form unique to Anatolia. In the light of Kılıçini example, this study aims to reveal the historical development of this particular form and the tradition of sword production in Anatolia until the end of the 3rd Millennium BC, in terms of both typological and functional aspects

Özet

Kılıçlar fonksiyonel kullanımları yanında, sahip oldukları sembolik deger açısından metal silah tipleri içinde özel bir formu yansıtır. Anadolu, en eski kılıç örneklerinin ele geçtigi ve bu tipin gelişiminin uzun bir süre boyunca izlenebildigi bir bölge olması açısından bu konuda son derece önemli bilgiler sunmaktadır. MÖ4. Binyılın sonlarında ilk olarak Dogu Anadolu’da başlayan kılıç üretimi sonraki binyıl boyunca diger bölgelerde farklı tipler ve teknolojik gelişimi yansıtan degişik denemelerle devam etmiştir. Antalya yakınlarında Kılıçini Magarası’nda bulunan bir kılıç da Anadolu’ya özgü hançer formlarından gelişen bir tipin güney kıyılarındaki bir temsilcisi olarak ilave bilgiler sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Kılıçini örneginden hareketle, Anadolu’da bu formun tarihsel gelişimi ve MÖ 3. Binyıl sonuna kadar olan süreçteki üretim gelenegi tipolojik ve fonksiyonel açılardan degerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır.
