This review is from: Across the Anatolian Plateau: Readings in the Archaeology of Ancient Turkey (Annual of the American Schools of Oriental Research, 57) (Hardcover)

This is not a formal review as I have only scanned this book, not read it yet (I have a library version). I had to make a star selection however and as the book appears to cover a range of topics I gave it 5 stars. I am writing a note here however as the above "official" review seems to be on a totally different topic with a different contributor list. This book actually contains articles by different scholars on aspects of Anatolian Archaeology, including work related to the Hittite civilization (among the topics: Swords, Armor and Figurines from the Central Taurus, Environment and History in Hittite Anatolia, the Great Temple in Hattusa, Narrative in Hittite Literature, Hittite Pottery, Hittite Religion, a Hittite Seal, etc.) Plants and People in Ancient Anatolia, Early Bronze Age Urban Planning, "An Uratrian Ozymandias," Coins of Achaemenid Anatolia, Lydian Houses, Gordion, and the City Plan of Ancient Aphrodisias.
