Hardcover, x, 181 pp.; 29 cm; published as Gordion Special Studies VI and Museum Monograph 133, distributed by the University of Pennsylvania Press; profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs, plans, line drawings, maps, tables, and charts; pictorial endpaper map of Anatolia, the Near East, and the Aegean.

Dark green cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on the front board and spine, and a gilt-stamped square device of a Phrygian horseman on the front board. Mild shelf wear. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. A multidisciplinary reassessment of the chronology of Iron Age Gordion (central Turkey), the capital of ancient Phrygia. The first excavation director Rodney Young, working in the 1950s, interpreted a major destruction level at the Citadel Mound as evidence of the Kimmerian invasion of ca. 700 BC. Drawing on dendrochronology, radiocarbon dating, textual evidence, and re-examination of the artifacts, the contributors here argue that the destruction occurred a full century earlier, ca. 800 BC, and was the result of a fire that spread out of control rather than a foreign invasion. The conclusion has wide-ranging implications for the chronology of Anatolia, Assyria, Syria, Greece, and Urartu in the first millennium BC. Edited by C. Brian Rose and Gareth Darbyshire, with contributions from Keith DeVries, Bernd Kromer, Peter Ian Kuniholm, Richard F. Liebhart, Sturt W. Manning, Maryanne W. Newton, G. Kenneth Sams, and Mary M.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Gordion is frequently remembered as the location of an intricate knot ultimately cut by Alexander, but in antiquity it served as the center of the Phrygian kingdom that ruled much of Asia Minor during the early millennium B.C.E. The site lies approximately seventy kilometers southeast of Ankara in central Turkey, at the intersection of the great empires of the East (Assyrians, Babylonians, and Hittites) and the West (Greeks and Romans). Consequently, it occupied a strategic position on nearly all trade routes that linked the Mediterranean and the Near East. The University of Pennsylvania has been excavating at Gordion since 1950, unearthing a wide range of discoveries that span nearly four millennia. The vast majority of these artifacts attests to the city's interactions with the other great kingdoms and city states of the Near East during the Iron Age and Archaic periods (ca. 950-540 B.C.E.), especially Assyria, Urartu, Persia, Lydia, Greece, and the Neo-Hittite city-states of North Syria, among others. Gordion is thus the ideal centerpiece of an exhibition dealing with Anatolia and its neighbors during the first millennium B.C.E. Through a special agreement signed between the Republic of Turkey and the University of Pennsylvania, Turkey has loaned the Penn Museum more than one hundred artifacts gathered from four museums in Turkey (Ankara, Gordion, Istanbul, and Antalya) for an exhibition titled The Golden Age of King Midas. The exhibition features most of the material recovered in Tumulus MM, or the "Midas Mound" (ca. 740 B.C.E.), which was the burial site of King Midas's father, as well as a number of objects found in a series of Lydian tombs. The Turkish loan has made possible a uniquely comprehensive and elaborate exhibition that also features a disparate group of rarely seen objects from the Penn Museum's own collections, particularly from sites in the Ukraine, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Greece. With the historic King Midas (ca. 740-700 B.C.E.) as its guiding theme, the exhibition illuminates the relationships Phrygia maintained with Lydia, Persia, Assyria, and Greece. The accompanying catalog includes full-color illustrations and essays that expound on the sites and objects of the exhibition.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. The New Chronology of Iron Age Gordion argues that the history and archaeology of the site of Gordion, in central Turkey, have been misunderstood since the beginning of its excavation in the 1950s. The first excavation director, Rodney Young, found evidence for substantial destruction during the first decade of fieldwork; this was interpreted as proof that Gordion had been destroyed ca. 700 B.C. by the Kimmerians, a group of invaders from the Caucusus/Black Sea region, as attested in several ancient literary sources. During the last decade, however, renewed research on the archaeological evidence, within, above, and below the destruction level indicated that the catastrophe that destroyed much of Gordion occurred 100 years earlier, in 800 B.C., and was the result of a fire that quickly got out of control rather than a foreign invasion. This discovery requires a reassessment of Anatolian history during the entire first millennium B.C. and has serious implications for our understanding of the surrounding regions, such as Assyria, Syria, Greece, and Urartu, among others. The New Chronology of Iron Age Gordion is the product of a multidisciplinary research program, with dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating working hand in hand with textual and artifact analysis, each of which is treated in a separate chapter in this volume. All of these categories of evidence point to the same conclusion and demonstrate that we need to look at Gordion, and much of the ancient Near East, in a completely new way.…
