MAGNESIA ON THE MEANDER CERAMIC FINDS FROM THEATRON

The aim of this paper is to analyze, identify and introduce the forms of the ceramics found during the excavations of the Theatron at Magnesia on the Meander. There are 93 sherds analyzed in this paper and most of them belong to fine and coarse wares. It is noted that most of the coarse wares and mould-made bowls (so- called Megarian Bowls in earlier literature) which is one of the dominant fine-ware types of the Hellenistic Age, were also produced locally in the city. There are some Hellenistic sherds dated into the 2^nd-1^st centuries B.C. but the majority of the sherds are from Roman Period and datable to the 2^nd-3^rd centuries A.D. From the building comes only one sherd, which is later than the 3^rd century A.D.
