The male head-shaped glass pendant discussed in this study was found together with a terracotta statuette, a terracotta head (or a protome), and some knucklebones (astragali) in a pithos burial during rescue excavations in 1993 in the Tenedos necropolis. The rod-formed pendant has a beard, big eyes, a long nose, full lips, and a slightly protruding chin. Trails of opaque yellow, white, and turquoise glass were applied to the translucent dark blue body of the pendant. Such glass pendants are considered to be of Phoenician and/or Punic origin and are distributed throughout the Mediterranean basin, the northern coast of the Black Sea, and Eastern Europe. They range in date from the 7th century to the middle of the 1st century BC. The Tenedos glass pendant is compatible with M. Seefried’s “Type C” (male head with curly hair) and dated between the 5th century and 3rd century BC. It belongs to the C1 subgroup (head with curly hair and sleek beard) of this type. The head-shaped glass pendant is a rare find from the northeast region of the Aegean. In the context of the other finds from the tomb, notably the standing female figurine, the glass pendant can be said to belong to the first half of the 5th century BC. Moreover, this find indicates the contact between the Phoenician and/or Punic world and Tenedos in this period.

, the inscribed sarcophagus discussed below was transferred to the former Çanakkale Archaeological Museum from the garden of a house in Kemallı, a village close to the ancient site of Alexandreia Troas, where it was used for a long time as a water trough. 1 This is not an unusual find from Kemallı. Several other inscribed artefacts, mostly funerary inscriptions, that had been moved from Alexandreia Troas to the village are documented in the epigraphic corpus of the ancient city of Alexandreia Troas. 2 The inscribed sarcophagus is a typical half-fabricated example from Assos, the production of which began in the late second century AD (Figs. 1-3). 3 Made of andesite, the most characteristic features that embellish Assos sarcophagi are a large panel positioned at the centre of the façade as well as two thin, smooth garlands with hanging pendants on either side of it. The façade is limited to a roughly outlined bucranium on the left and right sides. A disk adorns the semicircular space above the garlands. The short sides of the sarcophagus are occupied by a garland with a pendant, and, above it, a disk is depicted. The long back side of the sarcophagus has the same decorative order as the façade, with the exception of the central panel. Similar examples are not uncommon. One long side of the sarcophagus bears the decoration designated as "Form I" by Ward-Perkins in his drawings, while "Form II" adorns the other side, as it does on the sarcophagus introduced in this paper. 4 Unlike the standard form of tabula ansata on Assos sarcophagi, which can be classified as a diverse group, the unusual form of these central panels on
