In general, the material in question belongs to a period from the appearence of Eastern Sigillatas around 150 BC and extends to the last quarter of the 3rd century AD when the Late Roman Red slipped ware replaced earlier forms. The main purpose of the research is to evaluate red slipped sigillatas and Roman thin-walled wares by using a diachronic model special to Aspendos in order to understand production and circulation of the pottery. In addition, theoretical interpretations will be used to understand the economic potential of Aspendos. Some spatial analysis data will be used together with material culture approaches. One aim is to produce models on the food culture and eating habits of the period and for the local population. Comparing the previously unknown pottery repertoire of Aspendos with several neighboring cities will also allow some interpretations about the role of the city in interregional and overseas trade, and the capacity of its hinterland through its sea and river port. Additionally, the origin of the material will be discussed. Eastern Sigillata D Group composes of about 60 % of the pottery repertoire at Aspendos. Therefore, it is planned to shed light on the role of ESD in Aspendos on production, the presence of local/imitation wares, and regional distribution. It has been determined that the preliminary studies conducted by J. W. Hayes regarding the form, scale, and of dating of pottery may not be valid for Aspendos. In addition, the results will be documented in detail with the help of sub-disciplines, and hypotheses will be supported by archaeometric analysis. An important gap will be filled by examining the findings not only from a single sector, structure, or layer, but also from different urban elements and the periphery within the cities/settlements of the Pamphylia Region, where research on Roman Period pottery has been limited until today.
