This article presents and discusses Early Byzantine pottery that was excavated at and around Limyra’s East and West Gates in 2011 and 2012. Not all excavated contexts were relevant to the aim of the study, which focuses on the Early Byzantine period. Pottery that pre- and postdates this period also occurred frequently. The pottery from selected contexts was sorted and quantified using fabric, shape and surface treatment as classificatory principles. It is noteworthy that pottery datable between the 2nd century BCE and the 3rd, perhaps the 4th century CE was not found in stratigraphic context: it was only identified in the form of residual fragments. Early Byzantine pottery occurs in large numbers, and especially around the West Gate there is a strong signal for contexts datable to the 5th and early/first half of the 6th century CE. All amphorae were imported, mostly from various parts of the Eastern Mediterranean; small quantities originated in the Western Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Most cooking vessels and part of the utilitarian and tableware repertoire, however, was obtained from local/regional workshops, pottery now partly better understood in terms of fabric and typological repertoire.

The dissolution of karst foundations can be divided into rock surface dissolution and hole dissolution. The dissolution features of karst foundations at different depths must be clearly identified before taking proper karst treatment measures. In this paper, more than 200 engineering data samples are collected from typical carbonate karstic regions in southwestern China, and 12 most representative engineering site were picked out. The rock surface dissolution ratio, hole dissolution ratio, and total dissolution ratio were measured at each engineering site, and used to fit the relationship between rock surface dissolution ratio and hole dissolution ratio at different depth sections. The results show that the karst foundation can be split into three sections from top to bottom: rock surface dissolution section Ⅰ, composite dissolution section Ⅱ, and hole dissolution section Ⅲ. The three sections occur inevitably as the rock surface dissolution occurs naturally from the inside. The dissolution degree decreases exponentially with the growing depth, and the rock surface dissolution ratio drops faster than the total dissolution ratio. Moreover, the hole dissolution ratio per unit volume of rock decreases with the increase of depth. If the holes are not developed, the engineering sites will only have rock surface dissolution section; if the holes become more developed, the composite dissolution section will expand gradually and dominate site dissolution. At most locations, the hole dissolution ratios under the minimum elevation of rock surface are within 10%. Finally, it is suggested that the final elevation of the drilling holes must be controlled above the minimum elevation of rock surface. The research results shed new light on the mitigation of dissolution of karst foundations.

Some Aspects of the Urbanistic Development in Limyra in the Hellenistic and Early Roman Periods

Comme plusieurs autres cités d’Asie Mineure, l’agglomération tardo‑classique de Limyra, en Lycie orientale, fut agrandie au début de l’époque hellénistique. Les fouilles archéologiques et les prospections géophysiques ont montré que la disposition des nouveaux quartiers suivait une orientation uniforme, à peu près NO‑SE, très probablement liée à un réseau viaire orthogonal. Pendant longtemps, cette orientation fut globalement appliquée dans l’urbanisme de Limyra, comme l’attestent la plupart des principaux édifices d’époque impériale. Malgré cela, le plan urbain révèle que plusieurs rues et bâtiments importants ne respectaient pas ce schéma mais suivaient un plan irrégulier – conséquence évidente d’une modification plus tardive. Cet article pose la question des raisons possibles pour cette importante altération du plan urbanistique.
