  • From Small States to Universalism in the Pre-Islamic Near East
    REVOLUTIONIZING REVOLUTIONIZING Mark Altaweel and Andrea Squitieri and Andrea Mark Altaweel From Small States to Universalism in the Pre-Islamic Near East This book investigates the long-term continuity of large-scale states and empires, and its effect on the Near East’s social fabric, including the fundamental changes that occurred to major social institutions. Its geographical coverage spans, from east to west, modern- day Libya and Egypt to Central Asia, and from north to south, Anatolia to southern Arabia, incorporating modern-day Oman and Yemen. Its temporal coverage spans from the late eighth century BCE to the seventh century CE during the rise of Islam and collapse of the Sasanian Empire. The authors argue that the persistence of large states and empires starting in the eighth/ seventh centuries BCE, which continued for many centuries, led to new socio-political structures and institutions emerging in the Near East. The primary processes that enabled this emergence were large-scale and long-distance movements, or population migrations. These patterns of social developments are analysed under different aspects: settlement patterns, urban structure, material culture, trade, governance, language spread and religion, all pointing at population movement as the main catalyst for social change. This book’s argument Mark Altaweel is framed within a larger theoretical framework termed as ‘universalism’, a theory that explains WORLD A many of the social transformations that happened to societies in the Near East, starting from Andrea Squitieri the Neo-Assyrian period and continuing for centuries. Among other infl uences, the effects of these transformations are today manifested in modern languages, concepts of government, universal religions and monetized and globalized economies.

Osborne Department of Near Eastern Studies Johns Hopkins University Gilman Hall 117 3400 North Charles Street Baltimore, MD 21218 [email protected] Little is known about how the Syro-Anatolian kingdoms of the Mediterranean and Near Eastern Iron Age (ca. 1200–720 B.C.E.) operated politically. This paper examines the nature and extent of royal political authority in one such kingdom, the city-state known as Patina, and its capital city of Kunulua. Political power in Patina is studied through space syntax analysis of Kunulua’s bīt­ḫilāni palace, and through interpretation of the iconography that was used to portray palace furniture. Historical inscriptions and works of art made in the neighboring Assyrian Empire, with whom the Syro-Anatolian city-states had a great deal of cultural and political interaction, provide the bulk of our information regarding the visual makeup of the accoutrements within the bīt­ḫilāni. The architectural form of Kunulua’s palace, and the furniture and objects that populated it, are shown to have been conceived together as a coherent and totalizing message empha- sizing the legitimacy and power of the king. introduction the Tigris River to the east, whose capital cities of Nimrud, Khorsabad, and Nineveh provide us with uring the first centuries of the first millennium vivid textual and visual evidence for the interaction B.C.E., the northeast corner of the Mediter­ of the two cultures (fig. 1).

  • TAITA, KING of PALISTIN: CA. 950–900 BCE? Benjamin Sass, Tel Aviv University Taita—Maximum Range Ca
    TAITA, KING OF PALISTIN: CA. 950–900 BCE? Benjamin Sass, Tel Aviv University Taita—Maximum Range ca. 1100–900 BCE The articles by Hawkins, Kohlmeyer, and Harrison in NEA 72/4 are centered on Taita, the Luwian-writing king of Palistin in western Syria, probably of Sea Peoples’ or outright Philistine stock (Hawkins 2009: 171). It is certain that Taita reigned after the collapse of the Hittite empire in the early twelfth century and before the political fragmentation of western Syria in the late tenth–early ninth centuries (Hawkins 2009: 170). Most of the evidence published so far—14C measurements, stratigraphy, pottery typology, and the style of the reliefs and Luwian hieroglyphs—appears by and large unable to refine this broad dating.1 Hawkins was at first for dating Taita to the eleventh century,2 but now prefers somewhere between the eleventh and the tenth centuries.3 In the following lines I seek to underscore the advantages from a historical point of view of the latest possible dating within the 1100–900 time-span. A Scenario for Pinpointing Taita to ca. 950–900 BCE Since first learning about Taita in 2004, it seemed to me that his kingdom and Luwian writing cannot be understood as a stand-alone phenomenon. Nor would linking Taita’s realm to the beginning of the ‘Dark Age’ in the twelfth century make much sense.4 At least, because he is not mentioned by Tiglath-Pileser I, Taita may be dated with reasonable certainty to after ca. 1075 BCE. Yet opting for the rest of the eleventh century would leave him out of any known context in western Syria, as noted—a sudden flicker of Luwian writing between two segments of documentary darkness.

Tell Tayinat was a large, urban centre which was situated in a region with favourable environmental conditions and higher rainfall compared to many other well-studied areas of the Near East. The most significant crop species present at Tell Tayinat are wheat (emmer and free- threshing), barley, bitter vetch, grape and olive.

  • URBANISM BEYOND the ACROPOLIS the Tayinat Lower Town Project Surface Survey, 2014-2015
    Anatolica XLIII, 2017 URBANISM BEYOND THE ACROPOLIS The Tayinat Lower Town Project Surface Survey, 2014-2015 James F. Osborne and Steven Karacic* Abstract Although the capital cities of the Syro-Anatolian city-states (also known as Syro-Hittite, Neo-Hittite, Luwian, and Aramaean) have been excavated for generations, archaeologists have only rarely investigated their large lower settlements beyond the monumental buildings in the acropolis. The Tayinat Lower Town Project began in 2014 with the explicit goal of conducting systematic fieldwork in the lower settlement of Tell Tayinat, ancient Kunulua, the Iron Age capital of the kingdom of Patina. The first two seasons were dedicated to an intensive surface survey of the entire lower town, roughly 16 ha in size, in order to obtain as holistic a picture of the ancient city as possible before planned excavation takes place. This article presents the findings of this research, which complement and expand our understanding of urbanism in Iron Age Anatolia. Introduction and Research Questions The Tayinat Lower Town Project (TLTP) began in the summer of 2014 as part of a long-term effort to understand the archaeological remains of the large lower settlement of Tell Tayinat, located in the Amuq Valley of southeastern Turkey (Fig. 1). Tayinat consists of two major morphological units: a low-lying tell roughly 20 hectares in size, and an additional 16 hectare lower town that extends around the eastern half of the site. Today the lower town lies under the floor of the valley due to the accumulation of alluvium from the Orontes River, lo- cated 700 m south of the site.

  • Chatal Höyük Publication Project
    oi.uchicago.edu CHATAL HÖYÜK PUBLICATION PROJECT CHATAL HÖYÜK PUBLICATION PROJECT Marina Pucci General Introduction In 1930, a letter of the well-known historian and philologist Dr. Emile Forrer drove the atten- tion of the Oriental Institute toward the large mound of Chatal Höyük on the eastern part of the Amuq plain in the Hatay province of Turkey; the letter suggested that this mound could be identified with the Iron Age capital Khunaluha (fig. 1). One year later, the Oriental Institute began archaeological activities on this mound and continued them over a period of four years (1932–1936), bringing to light domestic units on a large extent over the whole area of the mound. The archeological team of the Oriental Institute, directed for the most part by I. McEwan, pursued excavations on the mound at the same time as other investigations on neighboring mounds (Tell Tayinat, Tell Dahab, Tell Judeideh, Tell Kurdu) and in the last years at the same time as a survey of the whole Amuq plain. During the excavations, however, it became evident that the mound of Tell Tayinat, where numerous representative structures, inscriptions, and carved orthostats were found, was to be identified with the Iron Age town center of Khunaluha. However, the site of Chatal Höyük revealed a large village continuously occupied during the Late Bronze and Iron Age periods and provided an extremely large amount of pottery from all oc- cupational periods. The materials (small finds and pottery sherds) collected during the excavations at Chatal Höyük were divided between the Oriental Institute Museum in Chicago and the Antakya Museum in Turkey.
