Description:

This introductory survey course focuses on the archaeological heritage of Turkey (ancient Anatolia) within the context of important technological, territorial, and cultural changes taking place from the Neolithic period through the third millennium BC, the Early Bronze Age. An illustrated lecture series covers the major stages in the rise of agricultural production, and a critical evaluation of models of state origins provides the basis for our understanding of the transformation into complex state societies in Anatolia. Highlighted are the major sites in the Anatolian sequence (e.g., ay nü, atalh y ük, Alac a H yük, Tro y, G lte pe/Kestel), as well as recent finds from the Euphrates Dam Projects and the Amuq Valle y.
