The Excavation at Limyra (Lycia) 2019: Preliminary Report2020 •
As in the previous years, the research focus in the 2019 season was laid on investigations on the urbanistic development of Limyra. Excavations and a large part of the research work had been carried out within the frame of the scientific project “The Urbanistic Development of Limyra in the Hellenistic Period”. Based upon the scientific results of the previous seasons, the scientific focus that was initially given mainly to the Hellenistic period, was extended to comprise the Roman Imperial, Late Antique and Byzantine periods as well. Therefore, the works conducted in 2019 covered a wide range.
From the 6 th century BC to Byzantine times, the ancient city of Limyra was an important urban center of the Lycian territory at the southwestern coastal region of Asia Minor. Archaeological, geological, hydrochemical and surface elevation data, as well as 14 C age dating constrain a paleo-hydrogeological model, explaining the submergence of the city foundation walls below the groundwater table. In this model, tectonically induced subsidence of the acropolis (Toçak Dağı) initiated a debris flow into the area of the lower city. Both, natural and anthropogenic gravel accumulation resulted in the formation of a new aquifer pathway redirecting formerly bypassing karst water into the city center. Consequently, the inhabitants of Limyra had to fight against the rising ground water table at least since the 6 th to 10 th centuries AD. Die antike Stadt Limyra war vom 6. Jh. v.Chr. bis zu byzantinischer Zeit ein bedeutendes urbanes Zentrum in Lykien an der süd-westlichen Küste von Kleinasien. Archäologische, geologische und hydrochemische Daten sowie ein Geländemodell und ein 14 C Alter unterstützen ein paläo-hydrogeologisches Modell, welches das Absinken der Grundmauern der Stadt unter den Grundwasser-spiegel erklärt. Das Modell beschreibt tektonisch induzierte Massenbewegungen vom Burgberg (Toçak Dağı) in die Unterstadt. Die natürliche und eine zusätzliche anthropogene Schuttanreicherung führten zu einer Umleitung des ursprünglich vorbeifließenden Grundwassers in das Stadtzentrum. Dies hatten die Bewohner von Limyra spätestens seit dem sechsten bis zehnten Jh. n. Chr. zu bewältigen.

This paper presents the results of archaeological investigation conducted in the course of 2014 and 2015 at four sites in the Lim Channel area in Istria County. The investigation is part of the Croatian Science Foundation’s Archaeological Investigations into the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene of the Lim Channel project (ARCHAEOLIM). The fieldwork was conducted at four locations: Romuald’s Cave, Abri Kontija 002, Pećina Cave near Rovinjsko Selo and Lim 001. Also conducted in 2015 was an underwater field survey of a part of Lim Channel, geoarchaeological sampling and geophysical measurement.
