The small island Tavşan Adası, which translatested means “rabbit island” in Turkish, is located north of the ancient port of Didyma on the west coast of Asia Minor. In the Bronze Age, it formed the tip of a headland connected to the mainland. Centrally located among the islands of the Dodecanese, the location with its two natural harbours offered excellent conditions for the establishment of a logistics center within the Minoan Southeast Aegean trade and communication network.From 2006 to 2013, systematic annual excavations took place within the framework of the Didyma project of the German Archaeological Institute. The fieldwork on Tavşan Adası and the ongoing analysis of the finds and features are groundbreaking contributions to the clarification of the little studied Early, Middle and the initial Late Bronze Age of Ionia and Caria prior to the so-called Mycenaean impact. A further expected outcome of the project is an essential contribution towards the understanding of the character and cause of the so-called “Minoisation” of the South Eastern Aegean in the first half of the 2nd millennium B.C. Since the end of 2015, the DFG has funded the processing and evaluation of the excavation in the project "The Bronze Age settlement on the peninsula of Tavşan Adası and the later resettlement up to the Byzantine period - Archaeological investigations north of the ancient port of Didyma, Western Turkey". The focus of this project lies on the Bronze Age ceramics, the early Byzantine contexts and finds, the accompanying scientific investigations and finally the preparation of the manuscripts for publication. In the eastern and northeastern areas of the present island early Byzantine strata were encountered, which indicate the existence of a private monastery complex between the 5th and the mid- 7th century. The three phases of construction of the monastery concern of the building of the chapel, the refectory and other adjacent rooms, as well as a well for water supply. A small cemetery was also found. The analysis of the development of the monastery complex is closely linked to the settlement history of the early Byzantine episcopal seat of Didyma or Ιερον. An important contribution to the exploration of the cultural-historical and the economic background of church building along the Carian coast in the 5th to the mid- 7th century can finally be made. The evaluation of the early Byzantin contexts and findings lies in the hands of K. Rauh, whose originally two-year approved place has to be extended by another 16 months. The position of our technical illustrator has also be extended by 24 months, as this is indispensable both for the completion of the manuscripts of the early Byzantine period and for the Bronze Age ceramics.

小岛屿Tavelian Adasalan，在土耳其语中的意思是“兔子岛”，位于小亚细亚西海岸古老的Didyma港口以北。在青铜器时代，它形成了与大陆相连的岬角的尖端。位于多德卡尼斯群岛的中心位置，拥有两个天然港口，为在米诺斯东南爱琴海贸易和通讯网络中建立物流中心提供了良好的条件。从2006年到2013年，在德国考古研究所Didyma项目的框架内进行了系统的年度挖掘。对塔瓦纳阿达木的实地考察以及对发现和特征的持续分析是对澄清在所谓的迈锡尼撞击之前很少研究的早期，中期和早期晚期青铜时代的爱奥尼亚和卡里亚的开创性贡献。该项目的另一个预期成果是对理解公元前2000年上半叶爱琴海东南部所谓的“Minoisation”的性质和原因做出重要贡献。DFG资助了该项目中挖掘工作的处理和评估“Tavelian Adasi的半岛上的青铜时代定居点和后来的定居点直到拜占庭时期-土耳其西部Didyma古港口北部的考古调查”。该项目的重点在于青铜时代的陶瓷，早期拜占庭的背景和发现，伴随的科学调查，最后准备出版的手稿。在本岛的东部和东北部地区发现了早期拜占庭地层，这表明在世纪至7世纪中叶之间存在着一个私人修道院。修道院的三个建设阶段涉及礼拜堂，食堂和其他相邻房间的建设，以及供水井。对修道院建筑群发展的分析与早期拜占庭主教座地迪迪马或伊莱波夫的定居历史密切相关。对探索世纪中期至7世纪中期卡里亚海岸沿着教堂建筑的文化历史和经济背景做出了重要贡献。对早期拜占庭背景和发现的评价掌握在K。Rauh，其最初的两年批准的地方必须再延长16个月。我们的技术插画师的职位也延长了24个月，因为这对于完成早期拜占庭时期的手稿和青铜时代的陶瓷都是不可或缺的。
