dc.description.abstractNew evidence obtained from excavation of the West Agora of Xanthos indicates that the first functional formation of the area may have taken place around 530-480 BC. This happened just after the founding of the Xanthos Dynasty during the time of the Dynast Kheziga (Kossika) or his son Kuprlli (Kybernis). Our comparisons with the agora of Avsar Tepesi, dated to the Early Classical period, revealed that these areas were a Lycian design. Epigraphic and archaeological evidence suggest that ceremonies for the purpose of ancestor cult, victory celebrations, and worshiping the gods occurred here. In addition, comparisons are made between our results and Oreshko's pairing of acropolis nele, reveals that these two places, called agora and acropolis in Greek inscriptions from the late fifth century BC, may have been identified nele by the Lycians as only one area. It follows that these areas called nele have quite different characteristics from the Greek agora. Therefore, it shows that Lycian nele were only termed agora in translations on the Inscribed Pillar Monument and the Kudalije Sarcophagus. This occurred because of the lack of a more accurate and appropriate synonym for nele in ancient Greek. In addition, considering the early existence of the cult area of agora gods worshiped in the nele, whose sacred and religious function was a priority, it was initially created under the influence of Anatolian culture. However, due to the significant influence of Athens in the Classical period, it became paired with the Greek twelve gods.en_US
