Book synopsis

The excavations of the Late Bronze Age (LBA) and the Iron Age (IA) transition at Tille Hoyuk, a crossing point on the Euphrates between Samsat and the base of the Anti-Taurus, document archaeologically, for the first time, the continuity of settlement from the LBA (the period of the Hittite Empire) into the IA (the period of the Great Kings of Carchemish). This is the period of the so-called "Anatolian Dark Age", which has been the subject of much recent controversy. The evidence from Tille is supported by a dendrochronological study. This volume contains a full description of the finds from the LBA, including a Mycenaean stirrup jar sherd. It also discusses the local hand-made pottery from the earlier part of the LBA which may account for the apparent dearth of the LBA occupation in South-Eastern Turkey.
