Gökçeada-Yenibademli Höyük Kazısında Bulunan Makara

Ege dünyasında destanlara konu olan Anadolu ve Yunanistan gibi iki yarımadanın arasında kalan Yenibademli Höyük, Çanakkale iline bağlı Gökçeada/İmbros ilçesinde yer almaktadır. Erken Bronz Çağı’nda Ege’de gelişen ticaret ağının güzergahında bulunan Yenibademli Höyük, günümüzde Gökçeada’dan Ege prehistoryasının veri tabanına bilgi sağlayan tek merkez olma özelliğini korumaktadır. 1996 yılından beri höyükte sürdürülen arkeolojik kazılar, M.Ö. 3. binin ilk yarısında yaşamlarını sürdüren insan topluluklarının sosyokültürel ve ekonomik faaliyetlerine ışık tutan veriler ortaya koymaktadır. Gelişmiş taş endüstrisi ile ön plana çıkan Yenibademli’de, 2003 yılında mermerden yapılmış makara biçimli iki nesne bulunmuştur. Bunlar yerel taşlardan üretilen çeşitli alet ve gereçlerden farklı olup, estetik değerlerinden dolayı prestij malları gibi değerlendirilmektedir. Yakın benzerleri Ege dünyasından da tanınan bu nesneler, terazi ağırlıkları olarak yorumlanmaktadır. Söz konusu buluntular bir taraftan bu tür nesnelerin kuzeyde yayılım sınırının Gökçeada’ya kadar uzandığını kanıtladığı gibi, Yenibademli yerleşmecilerinin deniz aşırı ilişkilerini ve M.Ö. 3. binde Yakın Doğu’dan Ege’ye geçen ölçüler sisteminin ve bununla ilgili bilgilerin bu adada da benimsendiğini ortaya koymaktadır.

Reel Type Objects Found in Gökçeada-Yenibademli Höyük Excavation

Yenibademli Höyük, which takes place between the two peninsulas of Anatolia and Greece which were the set up of many legends in the Aegean World, lies in the district of Gökçeada/Imbros in Çanakkale province. Yenibademli Höyük, which lies in the route of the trade network developed in the Aegean World during the Early Bronze Age, is keeping in our day its position as being the only settlement securing information for the database of the Aegean prehistory. The archaeological excavations, which have been carried on in the settlement since 1996, have exposed the data enlightening the socio-cultural and the economic activities of the human communities that had lived during the first half of the 3rd millennium B.C. In Yenibademli, which is known with its developed stone industry, two reel type objects made of marble have been found in the year 2003. These are different from the various tools and materials made out of the local stones and because of their esthetic values they have been evaluated as prestige objects. These objects with their resemblances known also in the Aegean World have been interpreted as scale weights. As these findings under consideration have proved, on one hand, that the distribution limit of these objects to the north have extended to Gökçeada, have proved, on the other hand, the overseas relations of the inhabitants of Yenibademli and that the metrological systems and their information transfered to the Aegean from the Near East in the 3rd millennium B.C. had been accepted in the island too.
