Bisel) ; imports found at late third millennium BCE K; ultepe (T. ; Ozg; u; ) ; three articles on seal iconography of various periods (N. ; Ozg; u; , E. Porada, E. Uzunoglu with A. M. And B. Din; ol) ; the child in Hittite iconography (J. V. Canby) ; the Grinnell College (Iowa) Anatolian collection (H. G. Guterbock) ; the literary topos ``prosperity,' ' expressed as ``royal statements of ideal prices'' (J. D. Hawkins) ; Kizildag rock reliefs and other remains (K. Bittel) ; polydactyly and sirens (R.
