The Excavation at Limyra (Lycia) 2022
Lifting the Lid
In this paper we investigate local foodways and ritual consumption in Iron Age Sicily through a study of cooking pots, integrating contextual, archaeozoological, archaeobotanical and chemical data. We focus on material from the central cult site of the settlement of Monte Iato, located in the hinterland of western Sicily, in order to explore the interaction between food, people, bio-/artefacts and environments as a process of formulating and refo…
The Excavation at Limyra (Lycia) 2019
Fig. 1: Limyra, City Plan C. Kurtze, ©ÖAW-ÖAI The excavation season at Limyra (Fig. 1) lasted from July 29 until September 27, 2019 with the permission granted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. We would like to express our gratitude to the state representative Esengül YILDIZ ÖZTEKİN from the Marmaris Museum. Preliminary Remarks (M. Seyer) As in the previous years, the research focus in the 2019 season was laid on investigations on the urban…

Palaeodiet reconstruction inferred by stable isotopes analysis of faunal and human remains at Bronze Age Punta di Zambrone (Calabria, Italy)
Recent research has shown that the Bronze Age is a crucial period of dietary changes in Italy. Following this line of enquiry, the paper reports the results of stable isotope analysis (δ13C and δ15N) of faunal bone collagen as well as of collagen extracted from a few human bones dated to the Recent Bronze Age (13th/12th century BCE) and excavated at the coastal settlement of Punta di Zambrone (PdZ) in Calabria, southern Italy. They constitute the…
Investigations on human and animal remains from a medieval shaft well in Ayasuluk/Ephesos (Turkey)
In course of the archaeological survey of Ayasuluk/Ephesos region (Turkey), a shaft well situated at the area of an extensive medieval bathing complex was excavated. In the stratum corresponding to the reign Mehmed II the well-preserved skeletons of two humans, an equine and a canine were recovered. Anthropological analysis of the human skeletons indentified two males aged 22 (± 3) and 36 (± 5) years. The skeleton of the younger individual showed…
Purple‐dye Production in Lycia – Results of an Archaeozoological Field Survey in Andriake (South‐west Turkey)
In 2003 a substantial deposit of heavily fragmented shells of purple snails was by chance located at the site of Andriake, the ancient port of the Lycian city of Myra near Demre, in southern Turkey. The archaeozoological and archaeological record of a survey project in 2004 proved the identification of a large installation for the production of purple dye. Adjacent to a well preserved Hadrianic granary and partly superimposing the remains of a U‐…
