Abstract: This article evaluates the archaeological and epigraphic finds and data obtained during the Salda-Yeşilova Survey’s 2023 Season. The survey documented numerous archaeological and epigraphic finds in rural settlements, particularly in the villages of Alanköy, Doğanbaba, Salda, Harmanlı, and the Kayadibi Neighbourhood. In addition to identifying the previously unknown demos of Osamylia, finds such as votive altars, funerary stelae, and rock-cut tombs were recorded. Among all recorded finds, the Osamylian Demos itself and its dedication to Zeus Poteis are particularly significant for establishing a new demos identification and for understanding the religious belief system within the demos. Among the archaeological findings, those from the Yankıtaşı Rock-Cut Tomb are especially noteworthy, demonstrating cultural continuity extending from the Bronze Age through the Roman and early Turkish periods.

Keywords: Salda-Yeşilova, Osamylia Demos, Zeus Poteis, Theoi Pisidikoi, Yankıtaşı Rock-Cut Tomb, Epitaph

Öz: Makalede 2023 yılı Salda-Yeşilova yüzey araştırmasına ilişkin arkeolojik ve epigrafik buluntular ile elde edilen veriler değerlendirilmektedir. Araştırmada Alanköy, Doğanbaba, Salda, Harmanlı köyleri ve Kayadibi Mahallesi başta olmak üzere kırsal yerleşimlerde çok sayıda arkeolojik ve epigrafik buluntu tespit edilmiştir. Daha önce bilinmeyen Osamylia Demos’unun tespitinin yanı sıra adak sunakları, mezar stelleri ve kaya mezarları gibi buluntular kayda alınmıştır. Kayda alınan tüm buluntular içerisinde özellikle Osamylia Demos’unun kendisi ve Zeus Poteis’e adağı, yeni bir demos tespitinin yapılması ve demos’taki dinsel inanç sisteminin anlaşılması açısından kritik öneme sahiptir. Arkeolojik bulgular arasında ise bilhassa Yankıtaşı Kaya Mezarı’ndakiler, Bronz Çağı’ndan başlayarak Roma ve erken Türk dönemlerine uzanan kültürel sürekliliği ortaya koymaktadır.
