Document Details : Title: Wine Presses of Western Phrygia Author(s): SIVAS, Taciser Tüfekçi Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 2 Issue: 1 Date: 2003 Pages: 1-18 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.2.1.3291978 Abstract : A new survey in western Phrygia has revealed the first examples of rock-cut wine pressing installations unknown in the region before. According to their technological and functional features, these wine presses may be divided into two typological groups. Both are similar in plan with a treading floor and a collecting vat. In addition to basic elements, the second type also includes a rectangular recess for a pressing beam in the rear wall of the treading floor. In the light of available evidence, we could conclude that these presses should be at least of Phrygian period and were still in use in later periods. |
