Ceramics are the most common materials found in almost every period and settlement in the ancient times. They are important in terms of showing the technological levels of past cultures in production and raw material processing as well as bearing the traces of commercial, cultural, economical and political changes of their time. Having drawn attention of researchers besides ceramics in the first half of the 19th century, amphoras were evaluated with regard to their effects on commercial and economical activities of cities and gained an identity beyond the typological research during the 20th century. People needed to pack the traded goods after the commencement of exchange between settlements in the ancient ages. Amphoras with firmly-sealed mouths were durable for marine and land transport. Amphoras were the integral part of trade since they ably preserved the spoilable goods such as processed fish, fruit, hazelnut, oil and wine. Amphoras were examined only typologically in the beginning, but the increasing number of amphorae with the same forms and varying paste structures required more information on their production sites, origins, and technology. Many archeologists and researchers have defined, classified and catalogued these forms as the most palpable economical proofs. The standard forms produced in different sizes and shapes in order to be used for trade by the ancient settlements made it possible for traders and consumers to know the origin and content of goods. Amphoras as the most significant proof of the ancient world trade were also reused for different purposes in addition to transporting wine, oil, marine products, fruits, hazelnut, etc., which were indigenous to a region or production site.

Studies in Honour of Eugenia Equini Schneider

Asena Kızılarslanoğlu, 2014-2016 yılları arasında kazı baş-kan yardımcısı olan Muharrem Oral ve 2015 yılından itibaren Elaiussa Sebaste kazı başkanı Annalisa Polosa, son araştırma sonuçlarını sunmak için Elaiussa’da çalışmış ve halen çalışmakta olan bir çok genç öğrenciler de dahil bilim insanlarına talepte bulunmuşlardır. Bu kitaba katkıda bulunan bütün katılımcılara en içten teşekkürlerimizi sunmakla birlikte, diğer yoğun bilimsel çalışmalarından ötürü bildirilerini zamanında yetiştiremeyen dostlarımıza da teşekkür ederiz. İstekli katılımları Eugenia Equini Schneider’a karşı olan duygularına tanıklık etmektedir. Eugenia Equini Schneider directed the excavations in Elaiussa Sebaste from 1995 to 2014, and it is a great pleasure to honor her with a series of papers written by colleagues and friends sharing her long and fruitful stay in Turkey. Asena Kızılarslanoğlu, who is the vice director of the excavations since 2017, Muharrem Oral, who has been the vice director in 2014-2016, and Annalisa Polosa, director of Elaiussa Sebaste project from 2015, have decided to ask for essays also to many young students and scholars having worked – and still working – in Elaiussa in order to present some recent results of our research. We warmly thank all our colleagues who did participate in this volume, but also the ones who could not, because of their many scientific engagements, submit their papers in time. Their enthusiastic accession witnesses their affectionate feelings towards Eugenia Equini Schneider. Annalisa POLOSA, H. Asena KIZILARSLANOĞLU, Muharrem ORAL

For this reason, the publication of local production and imported ceramics found as a result of excavations in ancient cities provides very useful information in terms of economy, commercial and cultural relations. İn this paper, new find-supported data were presented on the commercial relations of the Cilicia Region with Egypt, in particular Elaiussa Sebaste.

The data obtained as a result of the excavations supports the commercial center of the city with a wide repertoire consisting of many amphorae, kitchen and fine wares circulating in the entire Mediterranean during both the Roman and Late Roman - Early Byzantine Periods.
The advantage of being able to deliver LR 1 amphoras, which are the local production of the city since 4th century AD, to the foreign market has facilitated the supply of different product groups from distant regions. Red Slip Ware are at the top of these groups. Ceramics belonging to this group, which were produced and spread in different forms in a wide geographical area during the Late Roman-Early Byzantine Periods, facilitate the evaluation of the economic level and trade system of the regions and enable the determination of commercial routes.
The publication of different ceramic groups within the Mediterranean trade system found in Elaiussa Sebaste will provide clearer information on the production, import and export dynamics of the city. Fine ceramics produced in Phokaia, which are the subject of the article, are also a new evidence for the commercial relations between Cilicia and the Aegean Region, in Sebaste, as an indicator of the intense commercial activities that existed in the Late Antiquity.
In this context, it is aimed to determine the form groups and typological features of Phokaia Red Slip Ware, which are understood to have been used extensively in Elaiussa Sebaste and It is aimed to reach preliminary results on the commercial relations of Elaiussa Sebaste, especially in Phokaia productions.

Roma Döneminde “metropol” unvanı alan kent, Erken Bizans döneminde, üretim ve ihracat açısından en hareketli dönemini yaşamıştır . MS 2. yüzyıl sonrasında kamusal yapıların inşası ile kent kimliği kazanmaya başlayan Elaiussa, Kilikia Bölgesinin ticaret
hayatındaki avantajları ve ilişkilerini de değerlendirmiş görünmektedir. Pek çok farklı bölge ve kentin üretimlerini ithal eden kent, kendi ürünlerini de bu ağın içerisine dahil edebilmiştir. Makalenin konusunu oluşturan Afrika Kırmızı Astarlı Seramikleri de bu ithal gruplar içerisinde yer alan ve kentin ticari ilişkileri, dolayısıyla Kilikia Bölgesi ile Afrika arasındaki bağlantıyı
somut verilerle sunması açısından önem arz etmektedir.
The ancient city of Elaiussa Sebaste is one of the most important port cities of the Rough Cilicia Region, which was one of the important routes of Mediterranean trade in ancient times, located in today's Mersin province. The city, which received the title of "metropolis" in the Roman Period, experienced its most active period in terms of production and exports in the Early Byzantine period. The city, which imported the products of many different regions and cities, was able to include its own products in this trade system. The African Red Slip Ceramics, which are the subject of the article, are among these imported groups and the commercial relations of the city, thus the connection between the Cilicia Region and Africa. The paper is important in terms of presenting concrete data.

follow from the Hellenistic period up to the 7th century AD, is an important port city in Cilicia Tracheia. During the Late Roman-Early Byzantine period of the city which begins at the end of the 4th century AD we witness an extensive trade activity as in the Roman Period. This process was also influenced by the city's production of LR 1 amphoras, which are thought to carry wine and olive oil. Because of the political events of the era, Elaiussa Sebaste maintained its trade activities with many different centres ranging from Syria-Palestine to Africa and Egypt and from the Aegean to the Black Sea region. By means of the amphorae in question, we aim to reveal Elaiussa Sebaste’s trade connections with the Black Sea region in the Late Roman-Early Byzantine period. The study is thought to attest the existence of Black Sea amphora forms in Cilicia and to bridge some gap in their distribution maps. With this study, researchers studying trade routes will be able to find Elaiussa Sebaste within this system.
