Through finding small fragment of mine, individuals began to proceed minerals, because there are not many mineral in the nature. The important part of Anatolia metallurgy is Northwest Anatolia. It is been examined out of all mining ventures the ones close to Parion city will be highlighted. Some of those mineral stretum has relationship with Parion. Iron tacks that has been found by Parion has analysed through XRay Fluorensons. Located around the Parion and the samples taken from the mine operated known in antiquity, it was made the same analysis applied to the nails. In the analysis results produced in parione and MS.1 century AD. 5. Çakırlı ore nails belonging to a period of up to a century emerged that overlap with samples of the iron furnace. These results are important Parion in so far as the evidence despite the fact that the production of metal products reveal a workshop.

Propontis and its environs, regarding its geopolitical location, witnessed significant cultural changes and the founding of important colonies during the great colonisation period of 750-550 BC. Throughout its history having hosted so much significant cultural and political events; it is obvious that the archaeology of the rich Propontis and its environs have not been able to be improved and discussed in international scale, although many decades have passed since the commencing of excavations as Troia, Assos, Kyzikos and Ainos. The archaeological excavations have gained momentum and the published academic works regarding the region have considerably increased as a result of the sponsorships that begun with Parion, and later continued with Smintheion, Troia, Assos and Alexandria Troas by İÇDAŞ INC.; one of the most significant industrial establishment of the region and Turkey. The planned symposium, under the name of " International Symposium of Propontis and the Surrounding Cultures " , intends to evaluate the current situation of the region's archaeology and to establish archaeological interregional connections with the participation of academics conducting research in a wide geographical area including cities of the Attic Delos League, Troas, Bithynia, Mysia, Northern Ionia, Balkan Peninsula, Black Sea basin together with the Greek Islands Furthermore, with such an international symposium; the momentum gained in archaeological excavations and publications will progress further, the promotion of Çanakkale and the archaeology of the region, and it is clear that the proceeding publication which is planned to be published in Turkish and English, will become one of the most significant reference sources for the region's archaeology and culture. Content of the conference is thought to be as the topics stated below regarding the archaeology of Propontis and the surrounding area within the period range from the PreHistory to the end of the Byzantine Period.

Parion is situated in the village of Kemer, and is connected to the town of Balıklı Çeşme, in the Biga District of Çanakkale. The city was established around a stream that flows into the sea and has a natural harbor, as have other colonial cities established in the region during the 7th and 8th centuries BC. Excavations were carried out from 2008 until now, in a building with rooms of different sizes, walls, water channels, mosaic pieces, glass products, ceramic pieces from different periods, and many bronze coins in poor condition. In addition, excavations conducted on the northern side of the structure showed the remains of a cylindrical ground support with pilae, which belong to a 'hypocaust system'. This article discusses the ways in which caldarium and tepidarium rooms from Early Roman to Byzantine period bathhouses and villas were provided in that period of time with a hypocaust wall heating system. One of the new construction methods is the use of 'spacer tubes': small hollow terracotta tubes which were used during a long time because they were cheaper. In Parion, one of the most important cities of Troas Region in the Roman period, the excavated small building showed three building phases. The spacer tubes have revealed new information of their building function. They are very important as there are only few examples of this building method in the Troas region. Examples of their types and features are described in a catalogue.

The Slope Bath of Parion where the excavations were begun in 2008 located on the western slope of the hill 300 m east of the acropolis and the theatre, 100 m northeast of the Sedat-Naciye NUROVA Parion Excavation House. During survey works carried out on the slope a vaulted strocture remain of 1 m diameter was observed. The vaulted structure remain was thought to be related to the wall remain or to belong to either an important structure or structure group therefore the desicion for excavating this area was given. The Slope Bath having nine sections revealed during excavations so far, besides sheding light to the social and economical aspects of Parion, does present significant information regarding the architecture of the city. These revealed sections are significant due to their different features. By having no similar examples in Anatolia the laconicum section does give an idea about the bath’s architect. The need of a very hot section in a geography where the climate is warm will be investigated in this work. Other sections revealed during excavations besides the laconicum will be introduced in light of similar examples. Along with the structure’s architecture discovered artifacts will also be introduced with regards to their relation to the structure. Additionally the localization of the bath has been introduced and the effect of the close proximity of the location to the harbour on the desicion making of the bath’s location has been mentioned. Finally by investigating the finds and architectural remains discovered during Excavations preliminary conclusions on the Slope Bath’s construction date and usage phases have been reached.

Today, Hadrianoupolis is about 3 kilometers east of Eskipazar, Karabük. The studies revealed that there was a settlement in the antique city of Hadrianoupolis from BC 1st century to AD 10th century. Considering the ruins today, it can be said that the city gained quite an important position in Late Roman and Byzantium periods. As a result of the conservation excavations of Ereğli Museum in 2003 sites like Chruch B, and in the scientific excavations in 2006-2008 Church A, Bath A, Bath B and Late Roman Mansion were detected. Although studies on Paphlagonia Region have increased in the recent years, they are not sufficient. The door themed funerary stele - widely used in Anatolia and the subject matter of this paper - gives information about the social and economic conditions of Hadrianoupolis. Furthermore, it proves the presence of Phrygian influence on Hadrianoupolis which is open to cultural exchange as to its geographical location. The door theme specially emphasized on the funerary steles is seen as the gate of afterworld, and because of that they were likened to house doors we use in real life. The door theme considered as the gate to the afterworld was a frequent theme not only used in funerary steles but also in rock monuments, ostotheks and sarcophagus. This tradition continued in Roman Empire and ended with Byzantium. From this perspective, at the least, the funerary stele is important for an insight into the Roman period of Hadrianoupolis.

Abstract
Safranbolu today is located in the east of Karabük province. In ancient period, the city was in the borders of Paphlagonia region, Halys (Kızılırmak) and Pontos region in the east; Parthenios (Bartınsu) or Billaios (Filyos River) and Bithynia in the west; Gangra (Çankırı)and Galatya in the south. The artifact in the shape of a pedimenthas 3,95 m length, 2,13 m height and 0,47 m thickness. It is seen that there is a pig, a patera, olpe-pitcher, diptych, stylus, an open roll, a box whose lock and key part is portrayed, an amphora, a hacksaw blade, a pickaxe, a plow, a basket whose two sides are portrayed with two birds, a fruit basket, grape leaves, and bunches of grapes and a small bird eating grapes from the bunches which was made by scraping technique. The existent figures indicate that this plaque belongs to a grave. The artifact in the shape of a pediment has been evaluated under the title of “Stelas with Frontons” because of its shape and it has also been evaluated in the sub-category of “Stelas whose Tympanon are Nodal” and “Stelas with Cradle Roofed”. However, this pediment was processed schematically on massive blocks in the mentioned stela groups.
Furthermore, the size of these stelas are quite small. When these stelas taken into consideration, it does not suit to the existent classification because it is only made up of fronton and it has an unusual size. In this context, when compared to the other graves nearby the city, it is detected that there is a khamasorion grave in in-situ condition and with the help of this grave it is understood that the artifact belongs to khamasorion grave. Because the similar samples only exist in this region, it is called Pediment Stela in South Paphlagonia type. It is dated back to A.D 2-3 centuries because of the figures on it. Very important data has been gathered about the grave architecture and burial traditions of the region in the Roman Empire Period.
Özet
Safranbolu günümüzde Karabük ilinin 11 km doğusundadır. Antik dönemde ise kent Paphlagonia Bölgesi’nin sınırları içerisindedir. Alınlık şeklindeki eser 3,96 m uzunluğa, 2,13 m yüksekliğe ve 0,47 m derinliğe sahiptir. Eserin cephesinde, domuz, patera, olpe-pitcher, diptiych, kalemlik (stylus), açık rulo, kilit ve anahtar kısmı betimlenmiş bir kutu, amphora, bağ bıçağı, balta-kazma saban, kazıma tekniği ile yapılmış bir sepetin her iki tarafında betimlenmiş iki kuş, meyve sepeti, asma yaprakları, üzüm salkımları ve salkımlardan üzüm yiyen küçük bir kuştan oluşan kompozisyon görülmektedir. Mevcut figürlerin varlığı bu levhanın bir mezara ait olduğunu göstermektedir. Alınlık formundaki eserin; günümüze kadar yapılan stel ve adak levhası sınıflandırmalarında formu itibariyle, “Alınlıklı Steller” ana başlığında, “Tympanonu Bezeli Steller”, “Beşik Çatılı Steller” gibi alt gruplar içerisinde değerlendirilmiştir. Ancak anılan stel gruplarında bu alınlık masif blok üzerine şematik olarak işlenmiştir. Ayrıca bu stellerin ebatları oldukça küçüktür. Anılan steller göz önüne alındığında, eserin sadece alınlıktan ibaret oluşu ve alışılmışın dışındaki boyutları, mevcut sınıflandırmalara uymamaktadır. Bu bağlamda kentin yakın çevresindeki mezarlarla karşılaştırma yapıldığında in-situ durumda bir khamasorion mezar tespit edilmiş ve bu mezar ışığında eserin khamasorion bir mezara ait olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Benzer örneklerin sadece bu bölgede olması itibariyle Güney Paphlagonia Tipi Alınlık Stel olarak adlandırılmıştır. Üzerindeki figürlerden eserin M.S. 2-3. yüzyıllar arasına tarihlenmiştir. Bu çalışmayla bölgenin Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi mezar mimarisi ve ölü gömme geleneği bağlamında oldukça önemli veriler elde edilmiştir.

The excavations of the Slope Bath of Parion started in 2008 at a place where the remains of a vault was located. The vault thougt to belong to a bath structure. Nine different sections that belong to the bath unearthted during the excavations. The layout and sections of the bath which are different from the typical baths in Asia Minor and shed light on the social and economic life of the ancient city of Parion as well as providing important data regarding the city’s architecture. Among the various groups of small finds discovered during the excavations 100 coins dating from the late Roman Imperial Period are significant. They were found on the bench adjacent to the northern wall of the apoditerium of the bath. Although the coins were found in close proximity to each other, they are not considered as a “hoard” as they were not found in a vessel. Traces of repairs and renovations in the architectural elements of the Slope Bath of Parion can be seen clearly. Ceramics and metal artifacts revealed during the Slope Bath of Parion excavations are among the finds that provide information on the period when the bath was in use. The coins are important in terms of providing a exact dating and information on the period when the bath had a big repair and the final period when it was in active use.. Therefore, these coins are also important in terms of filling a big data gap.
In this study, 100 coins and other finds belonging to the same are evaluated to make suggestions related to the final period of use of the Slope Bath of Parion.

Parion antik kentinde yer alan Yamaç Hamamı kazılarına 2008 yılında, yüzeyde yer alan bir hamama ait olduğu düşünülen tonoz kalıntısından başlanmıştır. Yapı kalıntısında halen devam eden arkeolojik kazılar sonucunda, hamamın dokuz bölümü ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Anadolu’daki tipik Roma Dönemi hamamlarından farklı bir plana ve bölümlere sahip olan hamam, Parion antik kentinin sosyal ve ekonomik yönlerine ışık tutmasının yanında, kentin mimarisi hakkında da önemli bilgiler vermektedir. Yamaç Hamamı kazılarında çok çeşitli buluntu grupları ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Ortaya çıkarılan buluntu grupları içerisinde sikkeler önemli buluntu gruplarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Özellikle hamamın apoditerium bölümünü kuzey duvarına bitişik olan oturma sekisinin üzerinde Geç Roma Dönemine ait 100 adet sikke ele geçmiştir. Sikkeler birbirine çok yakın bir mesafede ortaya çıkarılmış olmasında rağmen herhangi bir kap vb. malzemenin içinde ortaya çıkarılmaması nedeniyle define olarak adlandırılmamıştır. Yamaç Hamamı’nın mimari unsurlarındaki tamirat ve tadilat izleri net bir şekilde izlenebilmektedir. Yamaç Hamamı kazılarından ortaya çıkarılan seramikler ve metal eserler de hamamın en yoğun kullanım evresi hakkında bilgiler veren diğer bulgulardır. Bu konuda sikkelerin çok daha net bir tarih vermesi, hamamın büyük bir tamirat geçirdiği döneme ve hamamın aktif olarak kullanıldığı son evresine ait bilgi vermesi açısından ve büyük bir veri açığını kapatması yönüyle ayrıca önemlidir.
Çalışmada 100 adet sikke ve diğer kontekst buluntular da değerlendirilerek Yamaç Hamamı’nın son kullanım evresine ait görüş öne sürülmüştür.

Tokat Museum Silver Rings
Abstract Rings have been used by men and women with functional purposes such as ornaments, seal, indicating nobility and rank, engagement, charm, key rings, and carrying poison. The sections of rings can be in various forms such as semi-circular, square thin band as they can be worn on fingers as well as toes. In addition to plain circular rings, rings with bezel were used as well. The forms of rings have changed over time and new forms have emerged. Silver rings in Tokat Museum are considered as catalog study in this article. Although all nine rings are stoned, the stones of two rings are missing. Four of the rings have cornelian, two have glass, and one has silver stone. Cornelian stones are engraved with negative descriptions and monogram. Descriptions and monogram are the most popular applications of Rome and Late Rome period. Rings have a wide time range between 1st century B.C. and 5th century A.D. Silver rings evaluated within the context of this study are particularly important for providing data in terms of social and economical status of daily life standards, and culture of individuals of the Rome and Late Rome Period. Considering that all the pieces in the museum are brought from Tokat and its surroundings, the analysis of this group will reveal important information on the important settlement in the Ancient Era in terms of the region’s socio-economical cultural position and its relations with neighboring cities and the way of living of individuals in that area. Within this scope, the cataloging of silver rings from Rome Period in Tokat Museum will provide important information, will be used in comparing other artifacts found in archeological studies and will provide a resource for future research studies.
ÖZET: Yüzükler, kadınlar ve erkekler tarafından süs eşyası, mühür, asalet, rütbe belirtme, nişan, tılsım, nazarlık, anahtar yüzükler ve zehir taşıma gibi işlevsel amaçlarla kullanılmışlardır. El bazen de ayak parmaklarına takılan yüzük halkalarının kesiti yarım daire, kare ince bant gibi farklı biçimlerde olabilmektedir. Düz halka yüzüklerin dışında, kaşlı yüzükler de kullanılmıştır. Yüzük formları zamanla değişerek yeni formlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Tokat Arkeoloji Müzesi'nde yer alan gümüş yüzükler bu makalede katalog çalışması olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Toplam dokuz adet olan yüzüklerin tamamı taşlı olmasına rağmen iki yüzüğün taşları noksandır. Yüzüklerden dört tanesi akik, iki tanesi cam, bir tanesi gümüş taşa sahiptir. Akik taşlar üzerine negatif betimler ve monogram kazınmıştır. Betimler ve monogram Roma ve Geç Roma döneminim sevilen uygulamaları olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Yüzükler MS 1. yüzyıldan MS 5. yüzyıla kadar geniş bir zaman aralığına sahiptir. Çalışma kapsamında değerlendirilen gümüş yüzükler, özellikle Roma ve Geç Roma Dönemi insanının sosyal ve ekonomik durumu, günlük yaşam standartları ve kültürü hakkında vereceği veriler açısından oldukça önemlidir. Müzedeki eserlerin tamamının Tokat ve çevresinden geldiği düşünüldüğünde, bu gurubun analizi Antik Çağ'da önemli bir yerleşim olan bölgenin sosyo-ekonomik kültürel konumu ve çevresindeki şehirler ile olan ilişkileri ve orada yaşayan insanların günlük yaşam şekli üzerine önemli veriler sağlayacaktır. Bu anlamda Tokat Müzesi'ndeki Roma Dönemi gümüş yüzüklerin kataloglanması sonucunda, arkeolojik araştırmalarda bulunulan diğer eserlerin analojisinde kullanılarak ileride yapılacak çalışmalara referans oluşturacaktır.

Within this scope, the cataloging of silver rings from Rome Period in Tokat Museum will provide important information, will be used in comparing other artifacts found in archeological studies and will provide a resource for future research studies.
ÖZET: Yüzükler, kadınlar ve erkekler tarafından süs eşyası, mühür, asalet, rütbe belirtme, nişan, tılsım, nazarlık, anahtar yüzükler ve zehir taşıma gibi işlevsel amaçlarla kullanılmışlardır. El bazen de ayak parmaklarına takılan yüzük halkalarının kesiti yarım daire, kare ince bant gibi farklı biçimlerde olabilmektedir. Düz halka yüzüklerin dışında, kaşlı yüzükler de kullanılmıştır. Yüzük formları zamanla değişerek yeni formlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Tokat Arkeoloji Müzesi'nde yer alan gümüş yüzükler bu makalede katalog çalışması olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Toplam dokuz adet olan yüzüklerin tamamı taşlı olmasına rağmen iki yüzüğün taşları noksandır. Yüzüklerden dört tanesi akik, iki tanesi cam, bir tanesi gümüş taşa sahiptir. Akik taşlar üzerine negatif betimler ve monogram kazınmıştır. Betimler ve monogram Roma ve Geç Roma döneminim sevilen uygulamaları olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Yüzükler MS 1. yüzyıldan MS 5. yüzyıla kadar geniş bir zaman aralığına sahiptir. Çalışma kapsamında değerlendirilen gümüş yüzükler, özellikle Roma ve Geç Roma Dönemi insanının sosyal ve ekonomik durumu, günlük yaşam standartları ve kültürü hakkında vereceği veriler açısından oldukça önemlidir. Müzedeki eserlerin tamamının Tokat ve çevresinden geldiği düşünüldüğünde, bu gurubun analizi Antik Çağ'da önemli bir yerleşim olan bölgenin sosyo-ekonomik kültürel konumu ve çevresindeki şehirler ile olan ilişkileri ve orada yaşayan insanların günlük yaşam şekli üzerine önemli veriler sağlayacaktır. Bu anlamda Tokat Müzesi'ndeki Roma Dönemi gümüş yüzüklerin kataloglanması sonucunda, arkeolojik araştırmalarda bulunulan diğer eserlerin analojisinde kullanılarak ileride yapılacak çalışmalara referans oluşturacaktır.

Metal objects which are one of the most prominent discoveries of humankind has entered into the life of humans with copper which is easily accessible in nature. Since Anatolia is rich in regard to mineral
deposits, people have always been able to access mines easily. In pre-historic times, people using flint stones, obsidians and bones as well as wood collected copper and started doing objects. Since metal
materials are more durable compared to other things and easier to be formed, they were improved quickly in the life of human beings. Later metal materials were regarded as the major signifier of wealth, definitive
in wars and the assistant of being garnished which stems from the feeling of human beings that is being liked. All those factors contributed to the increase and improvement of metal material use with the help
of technological factors for ages. In this context, Parion excavations also contribute to the data in use and improvement of metal materials. Metal materials which have been unearthed in theater excavations since
2006 have contributed a lot to the data associated with metal use.
The aim of this study is to highlight the changes and practices of theater in ages by means of comparing the metal artifacts with similar samples and introducing them to the scientific world as well as evaluating
the layer and the context materials where the artifacts were unearthed. As well as giving information about the structure of theater, these metal artifacts help us to understand the socio-economic state of Parion.

Abstract
There is not so many scientific research on grave typology and tradition of burial in Paphlagonia region. In addition to this, there is not sufficient data on the history and culture of the region, which can be explained with the limited number of archaeological excavation in Paphlagonia region. Preliminary preparation for further far-reaching studies has been intended with this research on a piece of grave monument located in a yard at the south of Paphlagonia region, at the present time in Günesli village of Karabuk province. Even if this research is assesed as a preliminary study, the artefact we treat is of a high value in terms of grave typology of the region. The fact that there is Sora and Hadrianapolis in immediate environment of Gunesli village in which grave monument has been located suggests that it can be a small residential area subject to these ancient cities. However, there are no facts and figures to prove it. And yet, good craftsmanship in the artefact points out that the owner of the grave may be an important person. The artefact is cubical as it stands. Man and wife and two Eros figures holding torch in both sides are portayed in a niche frontally encircled by columns. There is lion sculpture on the upper part of the artefact while Gorgon (medusa) is engraved on the other sides. Given the existent features of the artefact, it can be said that the artefact is unique to the region. A great number of rectangular and round graveyard columns have been found in the course of scientific works in the region. The existence of the clamp hole beneath the artefact shows that this artefact has been placed on such a pedestal. Stylistic features of the figures on the artefact have been examined and it has been dated to the 3 rd century A.C. At the end of this research a new type of grave has been added to the grave typology of Paphlagonia region and it has been proven how rich the grave typology of the region is.
Özet
Paphlagonia Bölgesi’nde mezar tipolojisi ve bu mezarlara yapılan gömü gelenekleri ile ilgili çok fazla bilimsel çalışma yapılmamıştır. Buna ek olarak bölgenin tarihi ve kültürü ile ilgili çok fazla veri de bulunmamaktadır ki bu durumu, bölgede arkeolojik kazıların sınırlı kalmasıyla açıklamak mümkündür. Paphlagonia Bölgesinin güneyinde günümüzde Karabük ili sınırları içerisinde kalan Güneşli Köyü’de bir bahçe içinde tespit edilen mezar anıtı parçası üzerine yaptığımız bu çalışmada ileride yapılacak geniş kapsamlı çalışmalara ön hazırlık yapılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu çalışma bir ön hazırlık olarak değerlendirilse de ele aldığımız eser bölgenin mezar tipolojisi bakımından oldukça önemlidir. Mezar anıtının tespit edildiği Güneşli köyünün yakın çevresinde Sora ve Hadrianapolis antik kentlerinin varlığı olasılıkla köyün bu antik kentlere bağlı küçük bir yerleşim olabileceğini akla getirmektedir. Ancak bu durumu kesin kanıtlayacak kesin veriler bulunmamaktadır. Ancak eserde oldukça iyi işçilik mezar sahibinin önemli bir kişi olabileceğini de akla getirmektedir. Eser mevcut haliyle kübik bir şekil arz eder. Cephede sütunlarla çevrelenmiş bir niş içerisinde karıkoca ve onların her iki tarafında elinde meşale tutan iki eros betimlenmiştir. Diğer yüzlerde gorgo (medusa) işlenirken, eserin üst bölümünde kırık bir aslan heykeli vardır. Eserin mevcut özellikleri göz önüne alındığında eserin bölge için ünik olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Bölgede yapılan bilimsel çalışmalarda çok sayıda dikdörtgen ve daire formlu mezar sütunları ele geçmiştir. Eserin altındaki zıvanın varlığı da bu eserin böyle bir kaide üzerine yerleştirildiğini göstermiştir. Eserde figürlerin stil özellikleri değerlendirilmiş ve M.S. 3 yüzyıla tarihlenmiştir. Bu çalışma sonucunda Paphlagonia Bölgesinin mezar tipolojisine yeni bir mezar türü daha eklenmiş ve bölgenin mezar tipolojisinin ne denli zengin olduğu ortaya koyulmuştur.

Parion antik tiyatrosunda 2006 yılında başlayan bilimsel kazı çalışmaları günümüzde de devam etmektedir. Kazı çalışmalarında ortaya çıkarılan metal eserler, tiyatronun geçirdiği evrelere ve değişikliklere açıklık getirilmesine katkıda bulunacak niteliktedir. Çalışmanın konusu 2006-2015 yılları arasında yapılan kazı çalışmalarında ortaya çıkarılan bronz, demir ve kurşun eserlerden oluşmaktadır. Metal eserler antik dönem içerisinde çok farklı işlevlere sahiptir. Özellikle tiyatroda ortaya çıkarılan, birçok farklı kullanım özelliğine sahip metal eserlerin büyük kısmı, günümüzde olduğu gibi mimari konstrüksiyonda bağlayıcı eleman olarak kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın içeriğinde 39 bronz, 17 demir ve 1 adet kurşun olmak üzere toplamda 57 eser incelenmiştir. Bronz eserler demir ve kurşun eserlere göre daha yoğun bir kullanım görmüştür. Bu durum bronzun diğer malzemeden yapılan eserlere göre daha dayanıklı olmasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Tiyatroda ortaya çıkarılan çok sayıda bronz tıp aleti, tiyatronun ikinci evrede değiştirilerek gladyatör oyunlarının oynandığı bir mekân olarak kullanıldığına işaret etmektedir. Çünkü antik dönemde gladyatörlere ilk müdahale tiyatro içerisinde gerçekleştirilmektedir. Tıp aletlerinin özellikle versurae bölümünün içerisinde yer küçük bir odada ortaya çıkması, tiyatronun ikinci evresinde bu bölümün ilk tıbbi müdahale odası olarak kullanıldığı göstermektedir. Ortaya çıkarılan demir eserler ise tiyatronun ahşap konstrüksiyonunda kullanılmıştır. Ele geçen buluntuların hepsi Roma ve Bizans dönemine aittir. Bu durum tiyatronun Roma döneminden Bizans’ın içlerine kadar kesintisiz bu kullanıldığını göstermektedir.

A Trapezophoros (Table-bearer) From Parion
Slope Bath of Parion is located on the western slope of the hill 300 m east of the acropolis and the theatre, 100 m northeast of the Sedat-Naciye NUROVA Parion Excavation House and the excavations in this sector were begun in 2008. During survey works carried out on the slope a vaulted strocture remain of 1 m diameter was observed. The vaulted structure remain was thought to be related to the wall remain or to belong to either an important structure or structure group therefore the desicion for excavating this area was given. The Slope Bath having nine sections revealed during excavations so far, besides sheding light to the social and economical aspects of Parion, does present significant information regarding the architecture of the city. These revealed sections are significant due to their different features. One of discovered artifacts called as trapezophoros will be introduced with regards to their relation to the structure. Trapezophoros is a leg of ancient marble table with three or four legs. It is appeared as lion head because it attented to show lion’s power. Marble table with lion heads was symbol of wealth. So trapezophoros discovered in Slope Bath shows that Slope Bath has to be very special complex. Additionally it was studied to date by stylistic angle.

The Slope Bath of Parion where the excavations were begun in 2008 located on the western slope of the hill 300 m east of the acropolis and the theatre, 100 m northeast of the Sedat-Naciye NUROVA Parion Excavation House. During survey works carried out on the slope a vaulted strocture remain of 1 m diameter was observed.

The Slope Bath having nine sections revealed during excavations so far, besides sheding light to the social and economical aspects of Parion, does present significant information regarding the architecture of the city. These revealed sections are significant due to their different features. By having no similar examples in Anatolia the laconicum section does give an idea about the bath’s architect. The need of a very hot section in a geography where the climate is warm will be investigated in this work. Other sections revealed during excavations besides the laconicum will be introduced in light of similar examples. Along with the structure’s architecture discovered artifacts will also be introduced with regards to their relation to the structure. Additionally the localization of the bath has been introduced and the effect of the close proximity of the location to the harbour on the desicion making of the bath’s location has been mentioned. Finally by investigating the finds and architectural remains discovered during Excavations preliminary conclusions on the Slope Bath’s construction date and usage phases have been reached.
