Özet

Tekirdağ-Osmanlı Köyü yakınlarındaki Karakaya mevkiinde, 2021 yılında Tekirdağ Müzesi tarafından gerçekleştirilen sondaj kazısı sırasında Erken Bizans Dönemi’ne tarihlenen kale ve kale ile bağlantılı yapı kalıntıları keşfedilmiştir. Makalede amacımız kale ve kaleyle bağlantılı bu yapıların işlevlerini anlamak ve tarihlemesini yapmak olmuştur. Bu doğrultuda kalenin planı ve mimari özellikleri detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiş ve kazılar sırasında ele geçen arkeolojik buluntularla beraber değerlendirilerek kalenin tarihlemesi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bilgilere göre Karakaya Kalesi, MS 5.-7. yüzyıllar arasında askeri amaçlar doğrultusunda inşa edildiği sonucuna varılmıştır. Fakat dokuma atölyesi olarak kullanıldığı anlaşılan 1 numaralı yapıdan yola çıkarak kalenin sadece garnizon barındıran bir karakol olmadığı içerisinde üretim ve ticari faaliyetlerin gerçekleştirildiği de anlaşılmaktadır.
