Sinop Landscapes: Towards an Archaeology of Community in the Hinterland of a Black Sea Port

Abstract: This paper discusses the evidence for economic and community integration on the Sinop promontory from the early first millennium BC through the middle of the first millennium AD based on the results of the Sinop Regional Archaeological Project. Results suggest that settlement and economy on the Sinop promontory were strongly affected by the broader condition of the Black Sea economy. Contrary to the sudden appearance of colonial sites dispersed over a relatively extensive territory seen in other important Pont… Show more

“…Strabo points out that these coasts of Sinop are an important center for olive production in the Black Sea due to their unique microclimate. In addition, olive pits were recovered from local amphorae from the late Roman period and excavated from the port area of Sinop (Doonan, 2004). According to the results of the archaeological research conducted around the ancient city of Balboura, located within the borders of Burdur province in southwestern Anatolia, the settlement continued until the fifth century, as in the Sinop region (Coulton, 2012).…”

“…The expansion of domestic luxury, both suburban and rural, that we see in Sinope should be attributed to its elite, who controlled the rich neighbouring countryside. They were likely granted this luxury because of the city's increasing economic interest in its hinterland by the second quarter of the fourth century BC (Doonan 2010;Rempel, Doonan 2020: 132-34, 139; this matter will be treated separately and in more detail in Kaba, Aksoy forthcoming).…”

“…Tempestades perigosas, habitantes hostis das costas e do interior e a ausência total de ilhas e portos que tornavam seu Egeu nativo tão fácil de navegar tornavam a primeira impressão dos gregos desfavorável. (DOONAN, 2009, Galácia ocupava a região central da Anatólia, sem compreender uma região costeira. Agora, Autólico é dito ter sido um dos que fizeram uma expedição com Héracles da Tessália contra as Amazonas, um filho de Deímaco.…”

“…Esta cidade foi fundada pelos milésios; e, tendo construído uma estação naval, reinou os nômades cimérios. A posição geográfica vantajosa em conjunto com os remanescentes encontrados até o momento e as fontes escritas levaram os arqueólogos que ali conduzem escavações a crer que Mileto tinha um motivo maior para insistir no assentamento na península de Sínope: a apoikia serviria como suporte para o controle das demais colônias assentadas ao leste do Euxino(DOONAN, 2012; DOONAN, 2021).Pois o exército dos cimérios que invadiu a Iônia, que nela era mais antigo que o de Creso, não promoveu a submissão das cidades, mas de surpresa fazia sua pilhagem.Heródoto à existência das ruinas de um assentamento do fim da Idade do Bronze(antiguidade eram capazes de reconhecer os ciclos e padrões de migração anuais dos peixes, bem como o padrão das correntes de travessia no mar. A atividade pesqueira no Euxino ainda é praticada, sua importância dentro da comunidade local se reflete no entusiasmo da população ao saberem que foi encontrado um depósito em cerâmica, datado do período Arcaico (séc.…”
