Sanctuary, Cultural heritage, Documentation, Pire Merdan, MardinAbstract
Pire Merdan is a site located within the boundaries of Elmabahçe Neighborhood in the Artuklu district of Mardin province. Also known as Tizyan Roman Settlement, this area was registered as I. Degree Archaeological Site under Law No. 2863 in 2018, due to its status as a valuable immovable cultural heritage site requiring protection. The site contains numerous elements of historical architecture and archaeological significance. There is a lack of information and documentation regarding this area, which holds such significant historical, archaeological, and religious values. Therefore, the purpose of the presented paper is to contribute to the literature by documenting the archaeological, architectural, and religious elements of the sacred settlement area of Pire Merdan. The area was examined and photographed on-site for this study. The architectural features of the site were described and documented through the use of photographs. Further detailed investigations to be conducted in the future, estimating back to prehistoric periods, will provide clear conclusions both for archaeological literature and the history of the region.
