Summary:

"This fourth volume of the Kültepe International Meetings (KIM) gathers archaeological, historical and philological studies dedicated to Kültepe, ancient Kanes (central Anatolia) and its surroundings. This fourth volume in a collection based on the biennial interdisciplinary meetings held in Kültepe, ancient Kanes, draws together sixteen contributions that explore the archaeology and history of this site, with the ongoing aim of taking a holistic approach to revitalizing this important early Anatolian cultural centre. The papers gathered here present both current research and recent important results derived from research in Kültepe and its wider surroundings through four key thematic strands: cultural exchanges between this site and its environs; material culture; sealings, writings, and history; comparisons with other sites across Central Anatolia. Through this approach, this volume is able to explore not only the historical importance of Kültepe, but also to highlight the settlement's future importance as a pilot site for interdisciplinary studies, thanks to its unique textual and archaeological data." --Provided by publisher, back cover
