Sagalassos 1989

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 December 2013

Extract

During 1989 the Pisidian survey project continued for its fifth season at Sagalassos. The survey was directed in the first half of the season by Dr. S. Mitchell (University College of Swansea) and in the second half by Prof. M. Waelkens (Catholic University of Leuven and National Fund for Scientific Research, Belgium). The team consisted of Prof. W. Viaene (geologist), Dr. M. Lodewijckx, R. Degeest, E. Scheltens, L. Vandeput, H. Bracke, A. De Daele, P. De Jonghe (Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium), Dr. E. Owens (University College of Swansea), Dr. Chr. Lightfoot (The British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara), Mr. R. Fursdon, R. Harrison and A. Young (topographers, University of Newcastle), and F. Richards (Sydney University). For 3 weeks we were joined by Selçuk Baser, director of the Museum of Burdur, who with M. Waelkens, directed a rescue excavation in the potters' quarter. Muhsin Endoǧru (Boǧazköy Museum) represented the Turkish Antiquities Department. The main financial support came from the National Fund for Scientific Research (Belgium), the Prime Ministry of the Flemish Community (Belgium), the Flemish Ministry of Education (Belgium), the British Academy and the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara.

15 This was pointed out to me by A. Schmidt-Colinet. For similar gables from Palmyra, see for instance Browning, I., Palmyra (1979), 88Google Scholar (Severan gateway), 185 (Diocletian Tetrapylon). Such gables are also a feature of Palmyrene temple tombs, studied by A. Schmidt-Colinet in a not yet published Habilitationsschrift (Studien zur Palmyrenischen Grabarchitektur. Das Tempelgrab Nr. 36 und seine Ausstattung, 1990, fig. 12 b). As M. Waelkens will show in a forthcoming article (Acta Archaeologica Lovaniensia), the Hellenistic Corinthian capitals from Sagalassos also seem to be of Seleucid origin.
