Tevrat’ta konusu geçen yaratılış bahsine göre Rab, günümüzde Yemen’in bir şehri olan Aden’e cennet bahçesi yapmıştır ve her türlü ağacın ve bitkinin bu- lunduğu bu bahçeye, yaratmış olduğu ilk insan olan Adem’i koymuştur. Aden’den bahçeyi sulayan bir ne- hir çıkar ve bu nehir dört kola ayrılır. Phison Havilah’ı (Arab Yarımadası), Geon Ethiophia’yı (Afrika), Tigris (Dicle Nehri) ve Euphrates (Fırat Nehri) ise Assur’u (Anadolu ve Mezopotamya) sarar.

Coin discoveries and the excavation works of Parion’s Roman Bath from the 2014 excavation season
are studied in this work. After introducing Parion’s antique history the excavation works for Parion’s
Roman Bath for the 2014 excavation season are explained and a coin finds catalogue regarding
this work is attached. According to archaeological finds Parion’s Roman Bath was built in the 2nd
century A.D., and with miscellaneous repair works being carried out was used up to the 5th century
A.D., after the 5th century the Roman Bath was abandonned and used as abandoned and used with

Propontis ve çevresi, antik dönemde uzun süre yerleşim gören jeopolitik konumu gereği MÖ 750-550 yılları arasında yaşanan büyük kolonizasyon döneminde önemli kültürel değişimlerin yaşandığı ve çok önemli kolonilerin kurulduğu bir bölgedir. Tarihi geçmişinde bu kadar önemli kültürel ve politik olaylara ev sahipliği yapan Propontis ve çevresi, Troia, Assos, Kyzikos ve Ainos gibi kazıların başlamasından sonra onlarca yıl geçmesine karşın bölge arkeolojisinin yeterince geliştirilemediği ve bu kadar zengin bir bölgenin uluslararası alanda yeterince tartışılamadığı da ortadadır. Bölgenin ve ülkemizin en önemli sanayi kuruluşlarından biri olan İÇDAŞ AŞ’nin Parion ile başlayan ardından Smintheion, Troia, Assos ve Alexandria Troas kazılarında üstlendiği anasponsorluk sonucunda hem arkeolojik kazılar ivme kazanmış hem de bölge ile ilgili bilimsel yayınlarda ciddi bir artış olmuştur.

“Uluslararası Propontis ve Çevre Kültürleri Sempozyumu” adı altında ve bölgeyle ilgili çalışan saygın bilim adamlarının katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmesi planlanan sempozyumla bölge arkeolojisinin bugün geldiği durumun değerlendirilmesi ve arkeolojik anlamda bölgeler arasında bağlantıların kurulması amaçlanmıştır. Bunun yanında bu tür bir uluslararası sempozyumun bilimsel kazılarda ve bilimsel yayınlarda yakalanan ivmenin bu anlamda da gelişmesine, daha da önemlisi bölge arkeolojisinin ve Çanakkale’nin tanıtımına da büyük katkı sağlayacağı ve sempozyum sonunda bildirilerin kitap haline getirileceği Türkçe ve İngilizce yayın inanılmaz değerli, bölge arkeolojisi ve kültürüne yön verecek temel başvuru yayınlardan biri olacağı çok açıktır.
Propontis and the surrounding area, regarding its geopolitical location, witnessed significant cultural changes and the founding of important colonies during the great colonisation period of 750-550 BC. Throughout its history having hosted so much significant cultural and political events; it is obvious that the archaeology of the rich Propontis and the surrounding area has not been able to be improved and discussed in international scale, although many decades have passed since the commencing of excavations as Troia, Assos, Kyzikos and Ainos. The archaeological excavations have gained momentum and the published academic works regarding the region have considerably increased as a result of the sponsorships beginning with Parion, and later continued Smintheion, Troia, Assos and Alexandria Troas by İÇDAŞ INC.; one of the most significant industrial establishment of the region and Turkey.

The planned symposium intends to evaluate the current situation of the region’s archaeology and to establish archaeological inter-regional connections with the participation of academics conducting research in the area under the name of “International Symposium of Propontis and the Surrounding Cultures”. Furthermore, with such international symposium; the momentum gained in archaeological excavations and publications will progress further, the promotion of Çanakkale and the archaeology of the region, and it is clear that the proceeding publication which is planned to be published in Turkish and English, will become one of the most significant reference sources for the region’s archaeology and culture.

Abstract:
Dear Colleague,
The T.R. Culture and Tourism Ministry, General Directorate of  Cultural Assets and Museums, Parion Excavation Directorate, is honored to host an organization under the name of “Symposium of  Propontis and the Surrounding Cultures”, which aims to bring together scholars who conduct research in the  regions surrounding the Propontis; such as Mysia, Troas, Bithynia, Thracia Chersonessos and Thracia, to share ideas. The Propontis and the surrounding area, was one of the most important cultural regions of antiquity, and was a significant place of cultural interaction as it remains today.
Our purpose of hosting such a symposium is to benefit from the knowledge of scientists conducting research in the region, discuss the archaeological finds, manifest the problems, to shed light on the interregional interaction, stimulate the region’s archaeology and improve the collaboration of Propontis and the surrounding area’s archaeology by manifesting new workframes and discussing the surrounding archaeology’s aspects.
We will be honored and delighted to receive esteemed scientists who conduct research in Propontis and the surroundings regions, in the organization “Symposium of Propontis and the Surrounding Cultures”.
We thank you for your kind interest and support in advance.
