Abstract

With six rock-cut tombs of Lycian type, the region south of the city of Kibyra (in the southern part of Burdur province) is the northernmost area of their distribution. Five of these are published here for the first time. Comparison with tombs in Lycia proper suggests a date in the fourth century BC. On the basis of this date and of similar tombs found in the region of Oinoanda and in the Elmalı plain, it is argued that the existence of this type of rock-cut tomb in what was part of ancient Milyas testifies to the political and cultural expansion of Lycia under ‘king’ Perikle in the 370s BC.

Özet

Altı adet Likya tipi kaya mezarı buluntusu ile Kibyra kentinin (Burdur İlinini güneyi) güneyindeki bölge, bu mezar tipinin dağılım alanının en kuzey ucunu oluşturur. Bu mezarlardan beş tanesi ilk kez burada yayınlanmaktadır. Asıl Likya bölgesindeki örneklerle kıyaslayarak bu mezarların MÖ 4. yüzyıla tarihlendiğini söyleyebiliriz. Bu tarihlemeye ve Oinoanda bölgesi ile Elmalı Ovasında bulunan benzer örneklere dayanarak, bir zamanlar antik Milyas'in bir parçası olan bu bölgede bu tip kaya mezarlarının bulunmasının, Likya'nın MÖ 370'lerde ‘kral’ Perikle zamanındaki yayılım alanına dair bir kanıt olup olmadığı tartışılmaktadır.
