Stratonikeia, one of the ancient cities of inland Karia in Asia Minor (neighbour of Eskihisar, Yatağan district, Muğla Province). The Yatağan-Milas highway passes close to the northern edge of the ancient city. Since 2008, on behalf of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and Pamukkale University, archaeological excavations, conservation and restoration work in Stratonikeia have been carried out by a team under the direction of Bilal Söğüt. The oldest finds uncovered in Stratonikeia belong to the Early Bronze Age.
The vast majority of standing remains, however, are dated to the Archaic and later periods. The city wall, gates, agoras, gymnasium, theater, temple, bouleuterion, baths, latrinas, colonnaded streets and a necropolis found in the settlement dated to the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods. Beside these, the site includes churches, houses, colonnaded streets, arch and necropolis dating back to the Byzantine Period, as well as village squares, stone paved roads, Turkish baths, mosques, mansions, houses, a paint workshop, a bread oven, shops of various crafts, and cemeteries from the periods of the Anatolian Principalities (Beylikler Dönemi) the Ottomans and the Republic.
Here, the remains from ancient times to the present can be seen side by side. For this reason, Stratonikeia has been taken under protection as a living historical city.
Eleven individuals (twelve samples) are included in this study: Byzantine period
I20146 (dup. I20148/16BCM04-individual 3) /16BCM04-individual 1 (petrous bone). Genetically male, juvenile.
I20147/16BCM04-individual 2 (petrous bone), genetically male, infant.
The cist grave (16BCM04) was built in east-west direction within the apse of the south nave of the church. The minimum number of individuals identified in this grave is 5. One of the skeletons was in dorsal position, the others were in flexed position. Age determinations are 0-6 months for a baby, 2-3 years for 3 juveniles, and 8-10 years old for another juvenile
From Byzantine Graves Found in Ancient City:
The head of the excavations, Pamukkale University Archaeology Department Professor Bilal Söğüt said,"We have found out that there is an early-era Byzantine church below the graves. This area was left after the church collapsed and began to be used as a graveyard."
He said salvage excavations continued in the area and they had so far opened 40 graves. “There is not only one person in the graves; some are mass graves and include damaged bones. We estimate that the number of graves will increase in the coming days,” he concluded.
For more: Marble flooring of Stratonikeia church meticulously restored:
The latest project on a 1,550-year-old Byzantine church and its marble floors stands out as one of the most eye-catching restoration projects in the ancient city recently. he church was built after an earthquake hit the city in 365 A.D. and stood until the seventh century. “The region of the church, built on the colonnaded street, was turned into a graveyard in the later period. Today, we are unearthing both the graveyard and the church. Currently, we are working on restoring the church's flooring,” Söğüt told Anadolu Agency (AA).
