| Archaeological excavations in Tarsus, a historically significant port city in the Cilicia region, yielded numerous fragments of amphorae produced in the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Black Sea regions. These finds, spanning various centuries, attest to the city’s extensive commercial activities. Excavations conducted at the Roman Baths and the olive market provided valuable insights into the maritime trade of Tarsus. Among the amphorae recovered from these two excavation sites, certain amphorae groups were identified that were likely produced around the Black Sea and its surrounding areas. These include examples classified as Sinope, Shelov Type D and Zeest 80 amphorae, all unearthed from mixed ceramic fill layers at both excavation sites. Therefore, the amphorae discussed in this paper are dated by analogy. Among the amphorae, those of Shelov Type D and Zeest 80 are dated to the first half of the 3rd century AD, while the Sinopean specimens are attributed to the 5th and 6th centuries AD. This is the first publication on amphorae from Tarsus that feature the amphora groups of Shelov Type D and Zeest 80. It is noteworthy that these forms have not been previously documented in any publications concerning Cilician amphorae. The presence of these two amphora groups in this part of the Eastern Mediterranean region sheds new light onto the geographical distribution of these forms. |
