Extract

During 1988 the Pisidian survey project continued at a new site, Ariassos, and for a fourth season at Sagalassos. The team, directed at Ariassos by Dr. S. Mitchell and at Sagalassos by Professor M. Waelkens (Dept. of Archaeology, Catholic University of Leuven, Research Associate of the National Fund for Scientific Research (Belgium)) consisted of Bay Sabri Aydal of Antalya Museum (topographer), Dr. E. Owens, Y. Day, and A. Millard (University College of Swansea), S. Cormack (Yale University), Dr. M. Lodewijckx, R. Degeest, L. Vandeput, and C. Nuitjen (University of Leuven), D. Roberts, R. Johnson, and S. Corker (University of Newcastle), A. Schulz and D. Pohl (University of Münster), and Osman Ermişler (Konya Museum), who represented the Turkish Antiquities Department. The main financial support for Ariassos came from the British Academy and the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara, and for Sagalassos from the National Fund for Scientific Research (Belgium) and from the Flemish Ministry of Education (Belgium). Thanks are due to the Eski Eserler ve Müzeler Genel Müdürlüǧü, who gave permission for the survey and provided surveying equipment, to the staff of the Emniyet Müdürlüǧü in Antalya and in Burdur, and to the Belediye officials and the inhabitants of Bademaǧacı and of Aǧlasun.

On the capitals from the Lower Agora gateway, the inner row of acanthus leaves is already moving slightly upwards, while the caules have become completely straight instead of twisted. Yet the treatment of the individual acanthus leaves is very similar.

26 The square concert hall of the Odeion of Agrippa at Athens which had only 25 m. to a side and 19 rows of seats around an orchestra with a radius of 10·17 m. could seat about one thousand spectators. The Odeion of Herodes Atticus at Athens, whose cavea had a radius of 38 m. accommodated 5000 spectators. See Travlos, J., Pictorial Dictionary of Ancient Athens, London 1971, 365, 378Google Scholar.

28 The masonry is already more regular than that of the terrace walls of the late Hellenistic Doric temple in the Upper City. See on those walls Waelkens, M. and Mitchell, S., V. Araştırma sonuçları toplantısı (1987), 245 Fig. 11Google Scholar.

33 Its lotus flowers are certainly later than those of the anthemion of the Pollio Nymphaeum at Ephesus, built in 93 A.D. (Strocka, op. cit., 24, fig. 43), and can better be compared with those of the small Temple dedicated to Hadrian at Ephesus in 117/118 A.D. (Strocka, op. cit. 26, fig. 46).

36 The shallow bowls of types 2–3 and type 1 (see Fig. 7) are clearly influenced by respectively the African Red Slip forms 81 A and 81 B, dated to the second half of the fifth century A.D. See Hayes, J. W., Late Roman Pottery, London 1972, 126, 128Google Scholar. The bowls of types (5) and (13) can best be compared with similar bowls from Alexandria, dated to the same period (and even later): Rocziewicz, M., La céramique romaine tardive d'Alexandrie, Alexandrie I, Varsovie 1976, 33–4, 37Google Scholar, pl. II (groupe B, forme 25, c and e–f). The dishes (7) and (8) seem to be an imitation of late Roman C dishes, dated respectively after the middle of the fifth century (Hayes, op. cit. 328: form 2B) and to the second half of the fourth century (Hayes, op. cit. 328–9: form 2C). Finally the bowl of type (10) is related to the Alexandrine group C 1c, dated between the fifth and the seventh century A.D. (Rocziewicz, op. cit. 40).
