ESKİ DOĞU AKDENİZ’DE BİR KRALÎ LİMAN “ALMİNA

Hatay İli Asi Deltası ve Samandağ Körfezi yakınlarındaki sahil şeridinde MÖ 8. yüzyılda aktif olarak kullanıldığı düşünülen Al Mina Limanı 1936-1937 yılında gerçekleştirilen kazılar sonucunda özellikle arkeolojik envanter açısından değerlendirilebilmiştir. Yine bu coğrafyada gerçekleştirilen arkeolojik kazılar limanın Geç Tunç Çağı’nda da ticarî faaliyetlerde kullanıldığı iddiasını desteklemiştir. Buradan ele geçen arkeolojik bulgular arasında yer alan lüks tüketime özel mallar ve ithal eşyalardaki çeşitlilik Al Mina’nın limanlar arasında önemli bir ticaret ağının merkez istasyonu olabileceği yönünde yorumlanmıştır. Al Mina’nın lokalizasyon çalışmalarını olanaklı kılan kısıtlı filolojik kayıtlar, bölgenin Mitanni, Asur, Babil ve Pers egemenliğinin ardından Hellenistik Dönemde de işlevsel bir liman olarak kullanıldığını belgelemiştir. Bu çalışmada, Anadolu, Batı Anadolu kıyıları, Mısır, Doğu Akdeniz kent devletleri, Suriye ve kıta Yunanistan arasındaki ticarete ve ticaretle gelişen kültürel etkileşime tanıklık etmiş Al Mina Limanı’nın yazılı ve arkeolojik verilerle değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır

“Al Mina” A Royal Port in the Ancient East Mediterranean

Al Mina Port, which near the coastline Hatay Province Asi Delta and Samandağ Gulf was thought to be actively used in the 8th century BCE, could be evaluated especially in terms of archaeological inventory as a result of the excavations carried out in 1936-1937. Archaeological excavations in this region also supported the claim that the harbor was used for commercial activities in the Late Bronze Age. Among the archaeological findings uncovered here, the diversity in luxury goods and imported goods was interpreted to suggest that Al Mina could be the central station of an important trade network between ports. The limited philological records that enable the localization studies of Al Mina have documented that the region was used as a functional port in the Hellenistic period after the reign of Mitanni, Assyria, Babylon and Persia. In this paper, it is aimed to evaluate the port of Al Mina which has witnessed the trade and cultural interaction between Anatolia, Western Anatolia coasts, Egypt, Eastern Mediterranean city states, Syria and continental Greece with written and archaeological data
