title: 2023 Addendum and Erratum to the Rough Cilicia Archaeological Survey Project (RCSP) Context Collection - the Kiln Sites Pottery

description: &lt;p&gt;This addendum summarizes the pottery remains recovered by the Rough Cilicia Archaeological Survey Project at four posited amphora kiln sites in the survey area: the Syedra Kiln Site, the Bickici Kiln site, the Antiochia ad Cragum Kiln Site, and the Delice Kiln Site. All four sites were identified early on during the survey (1995-1997). The survey team conducted grab collections and triaged dozens of sherds recovered by 1997, before returning the bulk of these fragments to the field. A representative sample of the amphora fragments together with context ceramics for each site was conserved at the Alanya Archaeological Museum. In 2003 the survey team conducted a magnetometric survey of the Bickici and Suedyra kiln sites with minimal results. Due to the longevity of the survey (1996-2011) members of the survey team, particularly Rauh, Dillon, Autret, and Kizilarslanoglu, conducted repeated visits to the sites and recovered additional diagnostic fragments as they surfaced. These visits occurred almost annually, with intensive inspections occurring in 2008 and 2011. The results of these efforts were assembled recently by C. Autret in her PhD dissertation: &lt;i&gt;La Vigne, le vin et les amphores en Cilicie &agrave; l&rsquo;&eacute;poque romaine. Production et diffusion du Ier S. av. J-C au IVe S. Apr. J-C&lt;/i&gt; (Paris, University of Paris-Sorbonne, 2015). In September 2021, Rauh inspected the remaining collections from the kiln sites stored in the Alanya Archaeological Museum. He took photographs, Munsell colorations, measurements, and descriptions for each of the sherds he inspected. This effort marks the conclusion of his work with the stored pottery at the museum. In 2022, the RCSP Ceramics Study Collection was transferred from the museum to the depot of the University of Nebraska Excavation Depot at Antiochia ad Cragum (G&uuml;ney Village), where it will be made available to members of the excavation team. The results of Rauh&rsquo;s efforts in 2021 form the basis of the Rough Cilicia Kiln Sites Addendum Dataset. In this description, he summarizes what is known about the kiln sites themselves and the amphora types they generated during the Roman Era. Many participants have played a role in this research, including Caroline Autret, Hatice Asena Kızılarslanoğlu, Matthew Dillon, Richard Rothaus, Kathleen Slane, Elizabeth Lyding Will, John Lund, Stanislav Pej&scaron;a, Kim Leaman, and Jason DeBlock.&lt;/p&gt;
