| Summary: | This study examines West Slope pottery unearthed during excavations conducted between 1989 and 1995 and 2006 and 2012 at the Seyitömer Mound, located south of the region known as Phrygia Epiktetos. West Slope pottery, which emerged toward the end of the 4th century BC and gained popularity in the first quarter of the 3rd century BC, is characterized by painted decorations in orange-yellow or white hues and botanical motifs engraved on dark, black, or red slips. At the Seyitömer Mound, these imported vessels, represented primarily by the kantharos form, highlighted the commercial and cultural interactions between Seyitömer and Pergamon. Based on clay-slip characteristics, form, and decorative elements, the pottery resembles Pergamon's examples. These potteries reflect the commercial and cultural relations established between Seyitömer and Pergamon. The usage period of the Seyitömer Mound’s West Slope pottery, based on the stratigraphic layers in which they were found and comparable examples, is estimated to span the 3rd to 2nd centuries BC. |
