Tabakaları) görülmeye başlanan, “truncated cups” ve bazen de “adak kapları” ya da “minyatür çanaklar” gibi isimlerle anılan çanak çömlek türünü odağına almaktadır. Tezde, "kâsecik" olarak değinilecek bu formun yanı sıra, Aççana Höyük’te bu kaplar ve ritüellerle ilişkilendirilen diğer küçük kaplardan olan sivri uçlu testiciklere ve minyatür model tabaklara da değinilmektedir. Tezin konusu "kâsecik"ler Hattuša, Kuşaklı, Alacahöyük ve Korucutepe gibi Hitit yerleşimlerinin Geç Tunç Çağı’na ait kontekstlerinden ele geçmektedir. Hem kült hem de ev kontekstlerinde, bazen ritüel depozit olarak bulunmaktadırlar. Aççana’da 4 alt tür altında sınıflandırılan 26 adet "kâsecik" bulunmuştur. Pek çoğu İštar Tapınağı’nın civarındaki alanlarda yapılan kazılardan ele geçmiştir. Bu kaplar, genele vurulduğunda nadir karşılaşılsalar da M.Ö. 14. yüzyılın geç dönemlerinde Amik bölgesindeki Hitit varlığı ve politik kontrolünün önemli bir kanıtı olma potansiyeli taşımaktadırlar. Buna müteakip olarak, Anadolu kökenli kültürel unsurların şehrin politik ve dini hayatına entegre edildiği kültürel melezleşme sürecinin işaretleri de olabilirler. Anahtar Kelimeler: Aççana Höyük, Tell Atchana, Alalakh, Amik Ovası, Türkiye, Suriye, Hititler, Geç Tunç II, North-Central Anatolian, truncated cups, kâsecik, adak kabı, adak kapları, minyatür kap, adak, tören, kült, çanak çömlek, arkeoloji iii ABSTRACT ANATOLIAN RITUAL ASSEMBLAGES AT ALALAKH: HITTITE IMPERIAL PRESENCE IN THE LATE 14TH CENTURY BC MÜJGAN SERRA CEYLAN FURLAN This thesis focuses on a North-Central Anatolian vessel type known as the “truncated cups”, and sometimes “votive cups”, “offering bowls” or “miniature bowls” that appear at the site of Tell Atchana (Alalakh) in Hatay, Amuq Valley in the late 14th century BC (Atchana Periods 2 and 1) along with other small, ritually associated vessels such as pointed juglets and miniature model plates. The truncated cups occur in contexts from Late Bronze age Hittite sites including Hattuša, Kuşaklı, Alacahöyük and Korucutepe. They are found in both cult and domestic contexts, sometimes as votive deposits. Twenty-six truncated cups in four sub-types were recovered at Atchana. Many of them come from in the areas excavated around the Ištar Temple. These vessels, though rare overall, have the potential to be an important evidence of the Hittite presence and political control of the Amuq region in the later 14th century BC. They may also be the signs of the process of cultural hybridization that followed, where Anatolian cultural elements were inserted into the political and religious life of the city. Keywords: Tell Atchana, Alalakh, Amuq Valley, Turkey, Syria, Hittite, Late Bronze II, North- Central Anatolian, truncated cups, votive cups, offering bowls, miniature bowls, miniature, votive, cult, pottery, archeology iv ÖNSÖZ Bu Yüksek Lisans tezinin konusunu, günümüzde Hatay ili sınırlarında, Amik Ovası’nda yer alan Aççana Höyük (Alalakh) yerleşiminde 2006-2016 yıllarında yürütülen kazı çalışmalarında bulunmuş “Kuzey-Orta Anadolu’ya özgü” kâsecikler ve ilgili olabilecek diğer küçük kaplardan oluşan Geç Tunç Çağı ritüel korpusu oluşturmaktadır.

  • Hittite Empire Centered in Asia Minor Came to an End When Barbarian Hordes from Thrace Swept Over the Western Lands and C
    The Doctrine of the Hittite The term Hittite has a twofold use in the OLD TESTAMENT. Usually it designates a relatively unimportant ethnic group living in Palestine since the days of the patriarchs. (Gen 15:19-21). These people, called the "sons of Heth," were descended from Noah's son Ham through Canaan (Gen 10:15; 1Ch 1:13) and were settled in the central hills of Palestine. (Num 13:29; Jos 11:3) In a few cases, however, the term Hittite is used in the OLD TESTAMENT to designate outsiders, non-Semitic peoples living in the north, who were to be respected and feared as a great power. (1Ki 11:1; 2Ki 7:6-7; 2Ch 1:17). These were the Hittites so famous from extrabiblical historical sources. Although it has been suggested that the small enclaves of Hittites in central Palestine were part of the northern Hittites who migrated south early in the 2nd millennim B.C., there need be no connection between the two groups at all, except for a coincidental similarity of name. The Indo-European Hittites who entered Anatolia (Turkey) and the Near East around 2000 from the steppes of inner Asia received their name more or less by accident, by virtue of the fact that they settled in territory previously held by an earlier non-Indo- European group called Hatti-people (or Hattians). Henceforth in this doctrine the three groups will be called "sons of Heth," "Hittites," and "Hattians" respectively, to avoid confusion. The red and black highly burnished Khirbet Kerah products found in Palestine are virtually identical with pottery in central Anatolia and the Kurgan homeland in Transcaucasia in the 3rd millennium B.C.

  • 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.

  • Shifting Networks and Community Identity at Tell Tayinat in the Iron I (Ca
    Shifting Networks and Community Identity at Tell Tayinat in the Iron I (ca. 12th to Mid 10th Century B.C.E.) , , , , , , , , Open Access on AJA Online Includes Supplementary Content on AJA Online The end of the 13th and beginning of the 12th centuries B.C.E. witnessed the demise of the great territorial states of the Bronze Age and, with them, the collapse of the ex- tensive interregional trade networks that fueled their wealth and power. The period that follows has historically been characterized as an era of cultural devolution marked by profound social and political disruption. This report presents the preliminary results of the Tayinat Archaeological Project (TAP) investigations of Iron I (ca. 12th to mid 10th century B.C.E.) contexts at Tell Tayinat, which would emerge from this putative Dark Age as Kunulua, royal capital of the Neo-Hittite kingdom of Palastin/Patina/Unqi. In contrast to the prevailing view, the results of the TAP investigations at Early Iron Age Tayinat reveal an affluent community actively interacting with a wide spectrum of re- gions throughout the eastern Mediterranean. The evidence from Tayinat also highlights the distinctively local, regional character of its cultural development and the need for a more nuanced treatment of the considerable regional variability evident in the eastern Mediterranean during this formative period, a treatment that recognizes the diversity of relational networks, communities, and cultural identities being forged in the generation of a new social and economic order.1

  • ALALAKH Ignacio Márquez Rowe Alalakh, Modern Tell Atchana, Lies
    ANATOLIA AND THE LEVANT ALALAKH Ignacio Márquez Rowe Alalakh, modern Tell Atchana, lies on the direct road between Aleppo and the Mediterranean, in the Amuq plain, which today occupies the major part of the Turkish province of the Hatay. The seven seasons of excavations at Tell Atchana that Sir Leonard Woolley conducted in 1937–39 and 1946–49 yielded over five hun- dred cuneiform tablets, most of them written in Akkadian. The majority of the tablets come from two royal archives unearthed at two distinct levels and belong accordingly to two different his- torical periods. The older archive, which includes about 35 percent of the excavated texts, was discovered in the Level VII palace and is dated to the late Old Babylonian period. More than half of the Alalakh written material was found in the more recent archive, in the Level IV palace and fortress, which is dated to the fifteenth century.1 A. A L VII 1. Sources of Law 1.1 The sources of the period under discussion (in historical terms, late Old Babylonian; in archaeological terms, late Middle Bronze Age) extend from the installation of Yarim-Lim as ruler of Alalakh by his elder brother Abban, Great King of Yamkhad (Aleppo), to the destruction of the town, presumably by the Hittite king Hattusili I. 1.2 The extant corpus of legal documents from Alalakh VII in- cludes about ten documents that are concerned with litigation, one 1 The basic edition of the texts remains Wiseman’s The Alalakh Tablets. It should be noted that a few tablets are still unpublished or only partially published; see the provisional list in Hess, “A Preliminary List...” 694 deposition, twenty-seven loan documents, thirteen documents of sale and five of barter, and two deeds of gift.

Indices of personal names (pp. 320–326), of titles and professions (pp. 327–328), place names, watercourses (pp. 328–329), and temples (p. 334) follow suit, as well as a glossary of the words occurring in the texts edited in the volume (pp. 330–334). The exemplary edition of these cuneiform texts by St. Zawadzki provides a lot of new material for the study of religious practices, of personal names, and of lexicography, especially for Assyriologists dealing with the Neo-Babylonian period, from the 7th to the early 5th centuries B.C. Let us hope that the Author will be able to continue his study and edition of new cuneiform texts housed in the British Museum. Edward Lipiński K. Aslıhan Yener (ed.), Across the Border: Late Bronze-Iron Age Relations between Syria and Anatolia. Proceedings of a Symposium held at the Research Center of Anatolian Studies, Koç University, Istanbul, May 31–June 1, 2010 (Ancient Near Eastern Studies. Supplement 42), Peeters, Leuven-Paris-Walpole MA. 2013, VIII + 542 pp. The volume under review offers twenty-three contributions to the Koç University’s symposium organized in 2010 by the Research Center of Anatolian Studies. The importance of the work requires a presentation of the single papers, most of them closely related also to the early Aramaean and Philistine history and culture. The collapse of the Late Bronze Age empires and the rise of smaller principalities on both sides of the present border between Turkey and Syria constituted the central topic of the conference, mostly of archaeological nature.
