New ISBN: 9786059680226 CATALOG: Archaeology KEYWORDS: Archaeology Anatolian civilizations Black Sea The research of the German Archaeological Institute and its numerous partners in Bogazkoy-Hattusha was never exclusively limited to the role of the site as the capital of the Hittite Kingdom. Time and again, attention was also focused on later periods, i.e. the Iron Age, the Roman Imperial period and the Byzantine period. Thus, the volume shows above all the potential that lies in the further exploration of the central Black Sea region and northern central Anatolia in the Hellenistic-Roman period. The differences in comparison to the Aegean and the southern coast of Anatolia are evident, but could be further analysed in the future on the basis of a denser data set. The same applies to understanding the relationship of rural areas to urban centres such as Ancyra-Ankara.
