The Balboura Survey, conducted between 1985 and 1994, investigated
the settlement history of a small district in the ancient region of
Kabalia in the mountains of southwestern Turkey. Although the
survey's focus was on the Hellenistic-Early Byzantine city of
Balboura and its western territory, the fieldwork revealed
significant prehistoric occupation, and the project included
research into Ottoman and recent settlement. Vol. 1: Balboura and
the history of highland settlement This first volume of the final
publication analyses settlement in the survey area from the
Chalcolithic to the 20th century, placing it in the context of the
adjoining districts. Major themes include: - the relation of the
local prehistoric sites to the long-lived cultures to the north and
east, and to the sparse evidence for settlement along the coast to
the south; - Balboura's foundation by immigrant Pisidians around
200BC, and the new pattern of small agricultural settlements which
came with it, exploiting land up to 1700m; - the city's attachment
to the Roman province of Lycia, its adoption of the civic culture
of Hellenistic and Roman Anatolia, and the interplay of alternative
ethnicities - Kabalian, Pisidian, Lycian and Roman; - subsistence,
climate, and the stability of Balboura's rural settlement pattern
through nearly 1000 years. - the balance between pastoral and
settled occupation from the prehistoric period through to the
present day. Vol. 2. The Balboura Survey: detailed studies and
catalogues This second volume of the final publication contains
detailed discussions of the prehistoric pottery and of the
Hellenistic and later pottery, which provide a chronological
framework for the interpretation of the survey, and a major study
of Hellenistic and Roman inscriptions examined during the project,
many of them unpublished. Later chapters discuss an early Balbouran
soldier who died at Sidon, the fortifications and water supply of
the city, funerary monuments, and churches and other early
Christian remains. The final chapter discusses problems and
methodological issues raised by the survey, which combined
extensive and intensive fieldwork. Five detailed catalogues present
the Hellenistic and later pottery, the evidence of ancient activity
across the city site, the rural sites and their pottery, known
inscriptions from the territory of Balboura, and Balbouran funerary
monuments.
