The Bronze Age harbour settlement on the island Tavsan Adasi and the later occupation until Byzantine Times. Archaeological investigations north of the ancient harbour of Didyma, West Turkey

小岛tav<e:1>在土耳其语中翻译为“兔子岛”，位于小亚细亚西海岸的古港口迪迪马北部。在青铜时代，它形成了连接大陆的海岬的尖端。位于多德卡尼斯群岛的中心位置，拥有两个天然港口，为在米诺斯东南部爱琴海贸易和通信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tavan adasyi的实地考察以及对这些发现和特征的持续分析，对澄清在所谓的迈锡尼影响之前的爱奥尼亚和卡利亚青铜时代早期、中期和早期晚期的研究做出了开创性的贡献。该项目的另一个预期成果是对了解公元前2000年上半叶爱琴海东南部所谓“少数民族化”的特征和原因做出重要贡献。DFG资助了“tav<e:1>阿达斯比半岛的青铜时代定居点和后来直至拜占庭时期的定居点-土耳其西部Didyma古港口北部的考古调查”项目的挖掘工作的处理和评估。这个项目的重点在于青铜器时代的陶瓷，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。在目前岛屿的东部和东北部地区发现了早期拜占庭地层，这表明在5世纪到7世纪中叶之间存在一个私人修道院建筑群。修道院的三个阶段的建设涉及教堂、餐厅和其他邻近房间的建筑，以及一口供水井。还发现了一个小墓地。对修道院建筑群发展的分析与早期拜占庭主教所在地Didyma或Ιερον的定居历史密切相关。这对探索公元5世纪至7世纪中叶加利亚沿岸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估掌握在K. Rauh手中，他原本批准的两年时间必须再延长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和青铜时代陶瓷的手稿都是必不可少的。

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.
