Özet:

 The ancient city of Stratonikeia is located within the territory of Eskihisar Neighbourhood in Yatağan District of Muğla Province. Excavations have been undertaken at the site since 1977. Settlement at the site of the ancient city is understood to go back to the second millennium BCE. At the site it is possible to see structures from a wide time span ranging from Classical Period through the twentieth century. Within the scope of the present study, a total of 25 samples were taken from seven structures within the ancient city of Stratonikeia. This study aims to cast light onto the archaeometric characters of the brick samples, to retrieve information on their production technologies, obtain data regarding their firing temperatures and their production sites as local or imports. The samples were investigated using stereomicroscope, optical microscope, color analysis, XRF, XRD, statistical and SEM-EDS methods. Various analyses led to compatible results and the brick samples were categorized into three main groups and one subgroup. It was noted that most of the samples were fired at 750-850oC and all of them were produced with clay taken from similar clay deposits.

 Stratonikeia antik kenti Muğla İli Yatağan İlçesi Eskihisar Mahallesi sınırları içerisinde kalmaktadır. Alanda 1977 yılından beri düzenli arkeolojik kazılar yapılmaktadır. Antik kentteki yerleşimin MÖ 2. binyıla kadar uzandığı anlaşılmıştır. Alanda Klasik Dönemden 20. yüzyıla kadar uzanan geniş bir zaman dilimine ait yapıları görmek mümkündür. Bu çalışmada, tuğla numunelerinin arkeometrik karakteristiklerini saptamak, üretim teknolojileri hakkında bilgi edinmek, pişirme sıcaklıklarını ve yerel üretim mi? veveya ithal mi? olduklarını belirlemek hedeflenmiştir. Bu kapsamda, antik kent dahilindeki yedi yapıdan toplam 25 tuğla numunesi alınmıştır. Numuneler stereomikroskop, optik mikroskop, renk analizi, XRF, XRPD, SEM-EDS ve istatistiksel yöntemlerle incelenmiştir. Petrografik incelemeler sonucunda tuğla numuneleri üç ana ve bir altgruba ayrılmıştır. Numunelerin çoğunun 750-850oC sıcaklıkta pişirildiği ve benzer kil yataklarından alınmış hammadde ile üretildikleri tespit edilmiştir.
