Dascylium enjoyed political and economic power over Hellespontine Phrygia and
beyond from the late 8th century BC, until the Roman period. Pottery sherds with nonverbal graffiti and dipinti were discovered among finds from the Phrygian, Lydian,
Achaemenid and Hellenistic periods. The pottery provides information on many phases
of the site’s habitation and on matters such as social life, belief systems, the literacy
level in the city and the centres with which it had commercial relationships.
