Rhodian Amphora Stamps from Taşlıgeçit Höyük

This article discusses ten stamped Rhodian amphora handles recovered from the Hellenistic layers of Taşlıgecit Mound in the northern Levant corridor. The stamps date from about 209–205 BCE (Euphranor) to about 169/167–140/138 BCE (Kallio), documenting five eponyms and five fabricants. Notably, one amphora features a previously unrecorded connection between the eponym Aristodamos II and the fabricant Nikasion, expanding the known activity range of the latter. Two additional stamps, belonging to Theuphanes II and Aristomachos I, are also published here for the first time. Along with Seleucid coins, these stamps form the main epigraphic evidence for the Hellenistic occupation of the mound. At the same time, associated ceramic groups reveal the site’s material engagement with broader Hellenistic cultural practices. Despite the limited assemblage, it adds new, securely dated material to the broader collection of Rhodian amphora stamps. It also offers valuable data for understanding the inland distribution of Rhodian transport amphorae in South Anatolia and North Syria.
