A New Irong Age Kingdom in AnatoliaJames OsborneAssistant Professor of Anatolian ArchaeologyMichele MassaBritish Institute at Ankara, Honorary FellowIn 2019, discoveries made by the Konya Regional Archaeological Survey Project, directed by Michele Massa, and the Türkmen-Karahöyük Intensive Survey Project, directed by James Osborne, brought to light exciting new evidence for a hitherto unknown Iron Age kingdom in south-central Anatolia. The site of Türkmen-Karahöyük, newly recognized to be one of the largest Bronze and Iron Age sites in Turkey, is almost certainly the royal seat of King Hartapu, long a mysterious figure in Anatolian history and scholarship, but whose Hieroglyphic Luwian inscription just found at the site describes his exploits across the country. At the same time, archaeological data from the region indicates the likely extent of his kingdom and his extensive fortification system.This audio recording was originally presented as an illustrated lecture on December 4, 2019.
