Abstract

There are three different coastal settlements in three different regions of the island in the researches on the island of Kekova, which is located in Demre district of Antalya province. One of these settlements is the Tersane Bay Settlement on the west end of the island, the North Settlement located on the northern slope of the island, and the last one is the Fener Settlement Area on the eastern end of the island. In the surveys conducted on the island between 2012 and 2018, few ceramic finds were found. On the other hand, in the underwater surveys around the island, a large number of different forms and periods of ceramic fragments were encountered. Some of these are thrown from the island while some of them belong to the ships that use the trade route. A total of nine lamps were found in these ceramics, 6 of which were on the island and 3 of them underwater. These lamps, which constitute our study, have been evaluated and dated with their similarities and places. Six of the oil lamps evaluated were the Late Antiquity witnessed by the island's dense settlement, and one of them was III. century AD.
