Structures destroyed by earthquakes and fires, etc., have different levels of structure due to reuse and many small finds were found in their contexts. A significant proportion of these small finds are made of metal. Metal finds related to jewelery, belt accessories, production tools, cutters, symbolic items and commerce provide information on the production technology, artistic understanding and daily life of the period. As well as to allow the functioning of the spaces to be determined and dating. This presentation, include information on metal finds and also the relationship between the period and other centers in the Propontis region will be emphasized.

In the metal group, gold, iron, lead and mostly bronze findings, were found. Coins group are easily identifiable and no need to be identified functional properties. Has been published by our relevant coins experts. Other Metal objects groups are classified according to their usage area, production technology and evaluated as ethnoarchaeological. Through these studies, it was tried to find answers to the questions such as the understanding of mining within the era of settlement, technical, infrastructure, interaction with other regions and the importance of metal in social life and their context properties.

A great deal of effort was spent to identify the long wall, extending roughly along the lake"s ancient coast line, which surfaces during the years of drought when the lake"s water recedes considerably. Antique geographers mention the region in a line or two, as a small town named after Athyra(s), a river flowing into the Marmara Sea from the north. Procopius, an important historian of the 6th Century, informs us in his book "On Buildings"(Greek: ΠερὶΚτισμάτων, PerìKtismáton; Latin: De aedificiis) that Emperor Justinian built a reservoir at the request of people affected by drought in a town called Athyra, near Constantinople. At first glance, knowing that the lake now not ...

Excavations determined two separate structures with intense and destructive damage and studies were performed about whether or not this damage was caused by destructive earthquakes in the region. A church structure with an apse had most pronounced intense damage and skeletons belonging to two hugging individuals were identified under the stones of a collapsed dome. Additionally, coins dated to 550 and other archeological materials reveal the destructive earthquake occurred after 550 in the period of the Emperor Justinian (527-565). If it had occurred during the reign of a different emperor, the coins would have been out of circulation. Strong destructive traces were identified in other structures spread over a large area in the excavation site, apa...

However, until recently, findings from the 3rd millennium and the 2nd millennium BC were almost nonexistent. After 2010 with the surveys and salvage excavations carried out, it is seen that this problem has started to come to end. The results of the Istanbul Prehistoric Age Surveys project and the results of the rescue excavations by the experts of the Istanbul Archeology Museum for reasons such as public projects and construction have provided new and important to complement this chronological gap. Thus, it was understood that Yamnaya / Kurgan communities that preferred pastoral life settled down to the area of the Bosphorus through the Balkans in the third thousand BC. In addition, we can say that this communities is in contact with the Western Anatolian Bronze Age communities and they entered the remote access trade line in the last quarter of the 3rd millennium BC. The reason why the traces of the 3rd millennium BC were suddenly cut off, probably in the Sea of Marmara. It can be attributed to one or more tectonic movements that occurred in the first half of the second millennium BC.

Küçükçekmece Lake which is situated on the western side of İstanbul, was a secure harbor since the ancient times, positioned on an important route connecting Mediterranean to Black Sea.It was depicted as Bathinius/ Bathynias, in the World maps since Ptolemaios, the fırst modem cartographer. In these early maps from Classical Times and Middle Ages drawn in general from the sea side, Küçükçekmece and its basin were illustrated as a bay, as a lagoon or as a bay in which a river flows.In some other cases only the name was given without any indication of a geographical detail. The most important Roman imperial map is Peutingeriana from IV century AD. There is no in this map indication of any geographical feature neither for a bay nor for a lake, but instead, “Regio ” was written on the place where the lake should be. In Nottia Urbis Constantinopolitanae, which gives Information aboııt the city plan of İstanbul in the 5th century BC, it is stated that the city is divided into 14 regions. In Notitia Urbis Constantinopolitanae, important buildings of the 14 districts in the city planning are listed. According to this list, there are fortresses andfortifıcations, churches, palaces, fountains, streets, houses and a wooden bridge in the 14th district. These structures are unearthed in the area we excavated. İn addition, the historian Procopius reports that the stone bridge at the mouth of the lake today was built by destroying the wooden bridge at the time of Emperor Justinian. For this reason Küçükçekmece follows the defınition of the 14th region.We don ’t have enoııgh concrete evidence to be able to understand how İstanbul’s was planned after Constantine’s Era. But we know that in Vitruvius times roman city planners divided the city into 16 divisions. On the other hand, there is need for further detailed works to be able to confırm if the sites we are working on the western side of Küçükçekmece Lake are part of the 14 th districts of Constantinople.
