Abstract

The ceramic finds we documented in the localities of Dardanos and Kepez at the mouth of the Kalabakli Valley (Hellespontus) indicate the period from the 5th century to the late 13th century. The finds which were found on the locality of Dardanos are dated considerably to the early Byzantine period were documented. The wares that are dated to the middle and late Byzantine periods are con- siderable among the finds of the locality of Kepez. No archaeological excavations have been made in either area and the wares are surface finds. However, the first evaluations of the wares indicate that the settlement of the episcopacy of Dardanos had spread on both sides of the mouth of the Kalabakli Tributary.
