West Slope Wares from Parion Slope Bath 1515-1260 Deposit


West Slope Wares which in the section of the master thesis “Hellenistic Period Ceramics from Parion Slope Bath 1515-1260 Sector” were re-evaluated within the scope of this study. Although some pieces of West Slope Wares in the section of thesis are included in the West Slope Ware Groups; they aren’t re- evaluated with the scope of the article due to the conserved part of the wares haven’t include the thinned clay dying or incised decoration, also significant samples are given within the scope of this study and general number statistic is denoted with the graphic. When it is done the typological researches of the wares, they were recovered that the wares show similarities vessels of the other big Anatolian cities in the Hellenistic Period, which are included particularly Pergamon and Ephesus. Most of these wares are in the making of Anatolian with ‘S’ profiled kantharos, and also there are one piece moulded kantharos, with flat-brim and sharp shoulder edged kantharos’, skyphos typed kantharos’, guttuses, a bowl with inside decoration, an outward facing dish, a deep bowl (lekanis), a crater, a juglet, a pyxis lid and some pieces of unguentarium. The ceramics of evaluated within the scope of the study are standard tablewares which used in the Hellenistic Period and dated in the 3- 2. Centuries BC. Although there isn’t enough data about the existence of ceramic production workshops in Parion, it is a matter that the clays and firnis properties show different production centers.
