Özet:

 Cyzicus, one of the important harbour cities of the Mysia region, is located in Düzler Mevkii of Erdek District of Balıkesir Province. Founded on the isthmus of the Kapıdağ Peninsula in the south of the Marmara Sea, the city preserves its characteristic of being the most important settlement center that has been influential in the history of the region. The city, located in the south of the Kapıdağı Peninsula, known as Arktonnesos Bear Island or Arkton oros Mount of Bears, is one of the most prominent cities in Asia with its size, beauty and excellent administration. In this study, the skyphos, which constitute an important group of finds among the ceramics unearthed during the excavations in the ancient city of Kyzikos, were analyzed. 20 samples of terracotta skyphos were studied in terms of how they met the needs of the people especially in the Roman period, how widely the form was used, the structure of the dough, the production technique and stages, and whether the production was influenced by other regions. There are decorated and undecorated examples of skyphos with Roman Period characteristics. The decorated examples in our study show floral depictions made with white paint. Although the excavations in Cyzicus were carried out regularly between 1988-1997 and since 2006, no large ceramic production workshop or kiln was found. However, considering the research carried out, the characteristics of the ceramics and the importance of the city in this period, it would not be wrong to speak of a workshop in itself. In this study, it will be useful for further studies to bring the skyphos, a ceramic group that has not been the subject of much research in the city of Cyzicus and has not been discussed in depth, into the literature.

 Mysia bölgesinin önemli liman kentlerinden birisi olan Kyzikos, Balıkesir İli, Erdek ilçesinin Düzler Mevkiinde yer almaktadır. Marmara Denizinin güneyindeki Kapıdağ yarımadasının kıstağında kurulmuş olan kent, bölge tarihinde etkili olmuş en önemli yerleşim merkezi olma özelliğini korumaktadır. Arktonnesos Ayı adası ya da Arktonoros Ayılar Dağı olarak anılan Kapıdağı Yarımadasının güneyinde yer alan kent; büyüklük, güzellik ve yönetimin mükemmelliğiyle Asiadaki en başta gelen kentlerden biridir. Çalışma ile Kyzikos antik kenti 2006-2007 yıllarındaki çalışmalarda ortaya çıkarılan seramik buluntular arasında önemli bir buluntu grubunu oluşturan pişmiş toprak skyphos incelenmiştir. 20 adet pişmiş toprak skyphos örneği özellikle Roma Döneminde insanların ihtiyacını karşılama şekli, formun ne derece yaygın kullanıldığı, hamurun yapısı, yapım tekniği ve aşamaları ile üretimde başka bölgelerden etkilenip etkilenmediği konuları araştırılmıştır. Roma dönemi özellikleri sergileyen skyphosların bezemeli ve bezemesiz örnekleri bulunmaktadır. Çalışmamızda yer alan örneklere uygulanan bezemelerde beyaz boya ile bitkisel betimler kullanılmıştır. Kyzikos kazıları 2006 yılından bu yana sürekli ve düzenli olarak yürütülmesine rağmen, herhangi bir seramik üretim atölyesi veya fırın bulunmamıştır. Ancak bu durum belirtilmemiştir. Çünkü yapılan araştırmalar ve seramiklerin özellikleri ve kentin bu dönemdeki önemi göz önüne alındığında başlı başına bir atölyeden bahsetmek yanlış olmayacaktır.
