The area to its east was the last remaining piece of the puzzle to be studied. Between 2015-2021, a series of large-scale excavations obtained a wealth of archaeological evidence, ranging from a Hellenistic neighbourhood to the main gymnasium of the Roman <i>polis</i>, and its rearrangement in Late Antiquity. As a result, these excavations provided information about a wide range of aspects of life in Hellenistic, Roman Imperial, and Early Byzantine Pisidia. This paper presents the relevant evidence and discusses its possible interpretations, so that it can be used to contribute to larger debates and themes within Classical and Anatolian Archaeology. poj@peeters-leuven.be http://dx.doi.org/10.2143/ANA.49.0.3292771 http://poj.peeters-leuven.be/content.php?url=article&id=3292771 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 07:00:21 +0000 poj@peeters-leuven.be http://dx.doi.org/10.2143/ANA.49.0.3292772 http://poj.peeters-leuven.be/content.php?url=article&id=3292772 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 07:01:39 +0000 This article presents a comprehensive description and analysis of the Roman period funerary materials from Seleukeia Sidera in Pisidia found outside of their original context. The sarcophagi, ostothekai, stelae, and busts in this collection were brought to the regional museum in past decades or were found during more recent archaeological surveys. This article offers a full catalogue of the funerary items, many of which are unpublished. Despite the relatively modest number of items, the collection allows us to reconstruct funerary customs at the site and to investigate processes of identity-formation in the burial grounds. We highlight the significant research potential of such ex-situ materials and treat them as one assemblage, integrating their textual, visual, and physical components. Our article is intended to demonstrate the value hidden in these so-called legacy datasets, thereby intersecting with debates on curation issues of heritage institutions in Tu?rkiye. poj@peeters-leuven.be http://dx.doi.org/10.2143/ANA.49.0.3292773 http://poj.peeters-leuven.be/content.php?url=article&id=3292773 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 07:02:54 +0000 poj@peeters-leuven.be http://dx.doi.org/10.2143/ANA.49.0.3292774 http://poj.peeters-leuven.be/content.php?url=article&id=3292774 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 07:03:54 +0000 This paper discusses the organization and management of food in selected sites located in northern Syria and southern Turkey dated from the Iron Age I to the Iron Age III (12th-6th centuries BC). I will discuss how changes in settlement patterns may have influenced food strategies in an area ruled by Syro-Anatolian city states during the Iron Age I and by the Assyrians during the Iron Age II-III. I will focus on analysing storage installations (silos and storage jars) retrieved from household and productive contexts in the Amuq Valley and in contemporary sites to help reconstruct the agricultural policies and systems of access and distribution of food supplies. poj@peeters-leuven.be http://dx.doi.org/10.2143/ANA.49.0.3292775 http://poj.peeters-leuven.be/content.php?url=article&id=3292775 Fri, 12 Apr 2024 07:06:04 +0000
