In 2019, excavation in the Yalnızlar neighbourhood of Sinop, Turkey, revealed a small number of architectural remains, two stone-paved floors and two lavishly decorated pebble-mosaic floors. Both the architectural remains and the pebble-mosaic floors are rare finds in Sinop, even more so given that the floors were found largely intact within their architectural settings. These elements appear to have constituted a portion of a once-grand house of the mid-fourth century BC. This article focuses on the pebble-mosaic floors, which will be analysed in two parts. The first introduces the floors and considers their construction techniques and decorative programmes. Analogies form an essential part of the analysis in order to contextualise both pavements within the corpus of Greek pebble-mosaic floors. A holistic evaluation of the architectural remains and the mosaics follows, in order to consider the setting and use of the floors. In the second part of the article, the sociocultural context of the mosaics is addressed. The analysis considers the meaning and symbolism of their decorations, as well as the place they once occupied within the lives of their owners. Ultimately, the position of the examples from Sinope within the wider sphere of mid-fourth-century BC Greek pebble-mosaic floors will be considered, along with the significance of such lavishly decorated floors in Sinope at this time.

2019 年，土耳其锡诺普 Yalnızlar 社区的挖掘工作发现了少量建筑遗迹、两块石头铺成的地板和两块装饰华丽的鹅卵石马赛克地板。在锡诺普，建筑遗迹和鹅卵石马赛克地板都是罕见的发现，考虑到地板在其建筑环境中基本上完好无损，更是如此。这些元素似乎构成了公元前四世纪中叶曾经宏伟的房屋的一部分。本文重点介绍鹅卵石马赛克地板，将分两部分进行分析。第一部分介绍了地板并考虑了它们的施工技术和装饰方案。类比构成了分析的重要组成部分，以便在希腊鹅卵石马赛克地板的语料库中对两条人行道进行背景化。随后对建筑遗迹和马赛克进行整体评估，以考虑地板的设置和使用。在文章的第二部分，马赛克的社会文化背景得到了解决。分析考虑了它们的装饰的意义和象征意义，以及它们曾经在主人生活中占据的位置。最终，将考虑锡诺普的例子在公元前四世纪中叶希腊鹅卵石马赛克地板的更广泛范围内的位置，以及此时锡诺普这种装饰华丽的地板的重要性。以及它们曾经在主人生活中占据的位置。最终，将考虑锡诺普的例子在公元前四世纪中叶希腊鹅卵石马赛克地板的更广泛范围内的位置，以及此时锡诺普这种装饰华丽的地板的重要性。以及它们曾经在主人生活中占据的位置。最终，将考虑锡诺普的例子在公元前四世纪中叶希腊鹅卵石马赛克地板的更广泛范围内的位置，以及此时锡诺普这种装饰华丽的地板的重要性。
