Oxford Handbooks Online The Late Bronze Age in the West and the Aegean Oxford Handbooks Online The Late Bronze Age in the West and the Aegean Trevor Bryce The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Anatolia: (10,000-323 BCE) Edited by Gregory McMahon and Sharon Steadman Print Publication Date: Sep 2011 Subject: Archaeology, Archaeology of the Near East Online Publication Date: Nov DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780195376142.013.0015 2012 Abstract and Keywords This article presents data on western Anatolia during the Late Bronze Age, wherein it was the homeland of a wide range of states and population groups. The most important and most powerful of these was a group of kingdoms that are attested in Hittite texts as the Arzawa Lands. Most scholars associate the development of these kingdoms with Luwian-speaking populations who had occupied large parts of Anatolia from (at least) the early second millennium BCE. The most enduring link between Anatolia's Late Bronze Age civilizations and their first- millennium-BCE successors is provided by the Lukka people, one of the Luwian-speaking population groups of southwestern Anatolia. They were almost certainly among the most important agents for the continuity and spread of Luwian culture in southern Anatolia throughout the first millennium BCE. Keywords: western Anatolia, Arzawa Lands, Lukka people, Luwian culture In this chapter, the phrase “western Anatolia” encompasses the regions extending along Anatolia’s western and southwestern coasts, from the Troad in the north to Lukka in the south, and inland to the regions stretching north and south of the (Classical) Hermus and Maeander Rivers. During the Late Bronze Age, these regions were occupied by an array of states and population groups known to us from numerous references to them in the tablet archives of the Hittite capital Ḫattuša. Arzawa: The Historical Background Prominent among the western Anatolian territories was a land called Arzawa (variant Arzawiya). This land appears a number of times in the Ḫattuša texts, often in conflict with the kingdom of Ḫatti. It is first attested in the reign of the Hittite king Ḫattušili I (r. 1650–1620 B.C.E.),1 who conducted a brief raid into Arzawan territory (§3 of Annals of Ḫattušili I, trans. Gary Beckman in Chavalas 2006:220), perhaps in the context of disputes over the frontier areas that lay between Arzawa and Ḫatti. In the following century, Arzawiya was listed among the cities and countries that rose against the Hittites during the reign of the Hittite king Ammuna (Beckman in Chavalas 2006:231). In addition, around 1400 B.C.E., Arzawa appeared among the (p. 364) western countries that fought against and were conquered by the Hittite king Tudḫaliya I/II2 (Garstang and Gurney 1959:121). Despite the apparent decisiveness of Tudḫaliya’s western campaigns, hostilities between Arzawa and Ḫatti continued through the following decades, culminating in the invasion by Arzawan forces of Hittite subject territory in the reign of Tudḫaliya III (early to mid- fourteenth century B.C.E.), and their occupation of this territory up to the southwestern boundaries of the so-called Hittite homeland in north-central Anatolia (Bryce 2005:146–47). The success of their military operations, at the same time that other enemy forces were launching massive incursions into the homeland from other directions, prompted Amenhotep III, pharaoh of Egypt, to make diplomatic overtures to the Arzawan king Tarḫundaradu, offering him a marriage alliance, no doubt in the expectation that Arzawa was about to replace Ḫatti as the superpower of the Anatolian region (Moran 1992:31; see Beal, chapter 26 in this volume).

Subscriber: Brown University; date: 17 March 2015 The Late Bronze Age in the West and the Aegean However, his approach to Tarḫundaradu was premature. The Hittites regained their lost territories in a series of retaliatory military campaigns of which the Hittite prince Šuppiluliuma, son of Tudḫaliya, appears to have been the principal architect (for more on the Hittite Empire, see Beal, chapter 26 in this volume). One of Šuppiluliuma’s major tasks was to drive the Arzawans from the occupied territories in the southwest, in the region called the Lower Land. He apparently succeeded in doing so after a series of hard-fought contests. Nevertheless, Arzawa continued to threaten Ḫatti’s western and southwestern frontier territories. An abortive Hittite campaign against the Arzawan leader Anzapaḫḫadu served to emphasize that the Arzawans remained a formidable military opponent. When Anzapaḫḫadu refused a demand from Šuppiluliuma to return refugees from Hittite authority, Šuppiluliuma dispatched to the region an army led by his commander Ḫimuili to enforce his demand. The Hittite army was ambushed and destroyed, and Šuppiluliuma was obliged to take the field at the head of another expeditionary force to complete the mission (from the “Deeds of Šuppiluliuma,” trans. Harry A. Hoffner Jr. in Hallo and Younger 2003:vol. 1, 188). After his accession to the Hittite throne, he installed one of his ablest military commanders, Ḫannutti, as governor of the Lower Land, clearly intending this region to serve as a base for further military operations against Arzawan territories (Bryce 2005:151). The Geographical Extent and Political and Ethnic Composition of the Arzawa Lands From these scattered pieces of information, it is clear that Arzawa constituted a major threat to the security of the kingdom of Ḫatti from the kingdom’s early days, and at one point in the fourteenth century B.C.E. may have come close to achieving (p. 365) political and military supremacy over much of the Anatolian region, even including the land of Ḫatti. That at least seems to be the implication of Amenhotep III’s approach to Tarḫundaradu. But what do we actually know of Arzawa, its geographical extent, and political composition? In a broad sense, the territories comprising this land stretched from the Aegean coast through much of western Anatolia, from the Troad region in the northwest probably to the western edges of the Plain of Konya. Most scholars believe that these territories had been settled by large numbers of Luwian-speaking peoples during the early centuries of the second millennium B.C.E. This belief is based to some extent on the fact that the name “Luwiya” in early versions of the Hittite laws (§§5, 19–21, 23a, trans. Harry A. Hoffner Jr. in Hallo and Younger 2003:vol. 2, 107, 108) is replaced by “Arzawa” in later versions. It is generally assumed that the regions to which the two names refer were virtually one and the same. This leads to the further assumption that the Arzawa lands were occupied by Luwian-speaking population groups. But the explanation for the name replacement remains a matter for debate. Recently, Yakubovich has argued that the Arzawa regions were settled predominantly by ancestors of the Carian population groups, who occupied a large part of southwestern Anatolia from the late second millennium B.C.E. onward, as attested in Classical texts (see later discussion). He argues that what Luwian presence there was in the west may have been due (in part at least) to population deportation from south-central Anatolia, a major area of Luwian settlement, in the aftermath of Arzawan attacks on the Lower Land (Yakubovich 2009; and see Yakubovich, chapter 23 in this volume, for additional discussion of Luwian). For the more traditional view, that substantial numbers of Luwian speakers had spread into western Anatolia by the Late Bronze Age and were responsible for the formation of the Arzawa states, see Bryce in Melchert (2003:27–38). In any case, there seems no doubt that the Arzawan regions, and western Anatolia in general, had a substantial Indo-European population in the Late Bronze Age (Luwian and Carian are both Indo-European languages), although these regions almost certainly contained a large non-Indo- European population as well, whose ancestral roots may have extended back many generations—indeed many centuries—before the arrival of the first Indo-Europeans. As a geopolitical term, Arzawa is used in Hittite texts sometimes in a purely generic sense, sometimes more specifically to refer to up to five states or kingdoms constituting the Arzawa Lands. The clearest references to individual Arzawan kingdoms are to be found in the texts of the Hittite king Muršili II, son and (second) successor of Šuppiluliuma, and Muwattalli II, Muršili’s own son and successor (see Beal, chapter 26 in this volume). What was apparently the most important of these kingdoms became a prime target of Muršili’s early military campaigns. On his accession, Muršili was confronted with aggression by many neighboring enemy countries and widespread rebellions among his own subject territories. In the west, Arzawa played a leading role in the uprisings. Here, a king of Arzawa called Uḫḫaziti sought to win or force Hittite subject states in the region away from their allegiance and provided asylum for refugees from Hittite authority. Muršili invaded and conquered Uḫḫaziti’s kingdom in a campaign he conducted against Arzawa in the third (p. 366) and fourth years of his reign, though Uḫḫaziti himself avoided capture by fleeing to an offshore island (trans. Beal in Hallo and Younger 2003:vol. 2, 85–86). Many Page 2 of 9 PRINTED FROM OXFORD HANDBOOKS ONLINE (www.oxfordhandbooks.com). (c) Oxford University Press, 2014. All Rights Reserved.

Some Thoughts on the History of North-Western Lycia in the Late Bronze and Iron Ages Summary: The present article contains observations on the invasion of Lycia by the Hittite king Tudhaliya IV as described in the Yalburt inscription. The author questions the commonly found identification of the land of VITIS/Wiyanwanda with the city of Oinoanda on account of the problems raised by the reading of the sign VITIS as well as of archaeological and strategical observations. With the aid of Lycian and Greek inscriptions the author argues that the original Wiya- nawanda/Oinoanda was located further south than the city commonly known as Oinoanda situated above İncealiler. These insights lead to a reassessment of the Hittite-Luwian sources concerning the conquest of Lycia.

  • Greek-Anatolian Language Contact and the Settlement of Pamphylia
    CHRISTINA SKELTON Greek-Anatolian Language Contact and the Settlement of Pamphylia The Ancient Greek dialect of Pamphylia shows extensive influence from the nearby Anatolian languages. Evidence from the linguistics of Greek and Anatolian, sociolinguistics, and the histor- ical and archaeological record suggest that this influence is due to Anatolian speakers learning Greek as a second language as adults in such large numbers that aspects of their L2 Greek became fixed as a part of the main Pamphylian dialect. For this linguistic development to occur and persist, Pamphylia must initially have been settled by a small number of Greeks, and remained isolated from the broader Greek-speaking community while prevailing cultural atti- tudes favored a combined Greek-Anatolian culture. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND The Greek-speaking world of the Archaic and Classical periods (ca. ninth through third centuries BC) was covered by a patchwork of different dialects of Ancient Greek, some of them quite different from the Attic and Ionic familiar to Classicists. Even among these varied dialects, the dialect of Pamphylia, located on the southern coast of Asia Minor, stands out as something unusual. For example, consider the following section from the famous Pamphylian inscription from Sillyon: συ Διϝι̣ α̣ ̣ και hιιαροισι Μανεˉ[ς .]υαν̣ hελε ΣελυW[ι]ιυ̣ ς̣ ̣ [..? hι†ια[ρ]α ϝιλ̣ σιι̣ ọς ̣ υπαρ και ανιιας̣ οσα περ(̣ ι)ι[στα]τυ ̣ Wοικ[. .] The author would like to thank Sally Thomason, Craig Melchert, Leonard Neidorf and the anonymous reviewer for their valuable input, as well as Greg Nagy and everyone at the Center for Hellenic Studies for allowing me to use their library and for their wonderful hospitality during the early stages of pre- paring this manuscript.

But the aggressive promotionof migrationaccounts after the PersianWars provedmutually beneficialto bothsides of theAegean and justified the composition of the Delian League.

Discovered during the work of the Central Lydia Archaeological Survey in the Marmara Lake basin of the Gediz Valley in western Turkey, the material evidence appears to correlate well with text-based reconstructions of Late Bronze Age historical geog- raphy drawn from Hittite archives. One site in particular—Kaymakçı—stands out as a regional capital and the results of the systematic archaeological survey allow for an understanding of local settlement patterns, moving beyond traditional correlations between historical geography and capital sites alone. Comparison with contemporary sites in central western Anatolia, furthermore, identifies material com- monalities in site forms that may indicate a regional architectural tradition if not just influence from Hittite hegemony.

  • As William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–63) Would Have Said
    CONCLUSIONS Everything has its end, so does this book. “Our play is played out,” as William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–63) would have said. Our peculiar journey in space and time to the sources of Indo-European cultures and languages is also over. It is left only to draw important conclusions. The world of Indo-European cultures and languages is really huge, diverse, and marvelous. The history of the ancient Indo-Europeans and the peoples with whom they communicated in prehistory in many aspects is still shrouded in mystery. We know for sure that the Indo-Europeans were not autochthones neither in Europe nor in India. Although the word Europe is originally a prominent concept of Greek civilisation, basically used in a large number of modern languages, its etymology (as well as that of Asia) is of unknown ultimate provenance, which also speaks in favour of the later appearance of the Indo-Europeans on this continent. We also know that other civilisations flourished before them, but the origins of these civilisations or the specific circumstances of the invasion of Indo-Europeans tribes there – all this is the subject of much speculation impossible to verify. According to the Kurgan hypothesis that seems the most likely, the tribes who spoke Proto-Indo-European dialects originally occupied the territory that stretched between the Pontic steppe (the region of modern southern Russia and eastern Ukraine) and the Ural Mountains, and between the upper reaches of the Volga and the foothills of the Caucasus. Approximately during the 5th and 4th millennia BC, they split into various parts and began their movements in three main directions: to the east into Central Asia and later farther, to the south through the Caucasus into Asia Minor, and to the west into Europe.
