dc.description.abstractThe ancient city of Assos was founded on a volcanic rough hill to the north of the Gulf of Edremit and opposite of the Island of Lesbos/Midilli. The city is often associated with the Assuwa of the Hittite cuneiform texts dating to the Late Bronze Age and Pedasus mentioned in the Iliad of Homer. Because Assos was a typical ancient city and the Ottoman law of antiquities were more flexible at that time than those of other countries with ancient remains, were important reasons for the selection of Assos for excavation by the American team in 1881. Following an interval of a century, archaeological excavations resumed at Assos by a Turkish team. The Temple of Athena and theater were two main structures restored during this term of excavations at Assos lasted until 2005. Western Necropolis was also intensively excavated during this term of excavations. Following 2006, new term of excavations was started at Assos, concentrating mainly on structures such as Bouleuterion, North Stoa, Western Necropolis, Ayazma Church and the District of Houses
dc.description.abstractAssos, Edremit Körfezi’nin kuzeyinde, Biga Yarımadası’nın batı ucunda ve Lesbos adasının karşısında yer almaktadır Res. 1 . Antik kentteki ilk iskânlar konusunda yazılı kaynaklarda az da olsa bilgiler mevcuttur. Bunlardan ilki Hitit metinlerinde geçen Assuwa’nın Assos ile ilişkilendirilmesidir Alparslan 2002: 23-24 . Diğeri ise Homeros’un İlyada destanında sözünü ettiği Pedasos kentidir. Bir Leleg kenti olan Pedasos, Satnioeis nehri kıyısındaki sarp kayalık üzerine kurulmuştur Homeros, İlyada 6, 34 . Arkeolojik kazılarda ele geçen buluntular arasında MÖ II. bine tarihlenen objeler olmakla birlikte bu döneme ait iskân yeri henüz tespit edilememiştir Arslan – Dennert – BöhlendorfArslan 2009: 105 . Yerleşmenin bir kent olarak ortaya çıkması MÖ 7. yy’daki Lesbos’lu göçmenlere bağlanmaktadır.
