Product Description
Review
'a well-written and easy-to-read volume that every student and scholar of ancient Anatolia ought to have on their bookshelf.' – Claudia Glatz, Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research
'...a much recommended purchase.' – Archeologie
Product Description
Students of antiquity often see ancient Turkey as a bewildering array of cultural complexes. Ancient Turkey brings together in a coherent account the diverse and often fragmented evidence, both archaeological and textual, that forms the basis of our knowledge of the development of Anatolia from the earliest arrivals to the end of the Iron Age.
Much new material has recently been excavated and unlike Greece, Mesopotamia, and its other neighbours, Turkey has been poorly served in terms of comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible discussions of its ancient past. Ancient Turkey is a much needed resource for students and scholars, providing an up-to-date account of the widespread and extensive archaeological activity in Turkey.
Covering the entire span before the Classical period, fully illustrated with over 160 images and written in lively prose, this text will be enjoyed by anyone interested in the archaeology and early history of Turkey and the ancient Near East.

Format:Paperback
I used to teach the prehistory and ancient history of the Near East, and it was particularly hard to include Anatolia - Asian Turkey - within that framework because of the lack of up-to-date texts that students could use. This is it. The authors really know their stuff, and they know how to produce a readable synthesis out of the primary materials of excavation reports and scholarly studies. They cover a lot of ground, both in the geographical sense of a very large area, and in the chronological sense from early prehistory to the appearance on the scene of Alexander the Great in the late 4th century BC. And what they have to say is well supported by a lot of good illustrations. I am well pleased with my purchase, and it is already well-used.

Archaeology of Ancient Anatolia
11 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a superbly readable account of the ancient civilizations of Anatolia. Although intended for the professionals in the field, it is very gracefully written and can be enjoyed by the lay reader as well. I highly recommend it.

Format:Paperback
A Superb, highly readable work. A must for those interested in the ancient history and archaeology of Asia Minor. The book has a good, up to date bibliograpy.

Valuable on Several Levels
24 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are a traditional student of ancient history this book is great, with a lot of facts and archaeological levels. If you are a non-traditional student, like myself, this is equally as valuable. Not only will you learn a great deal about ancient Turkey, you will get a really good insight into how civilizations developed. I have learned more about that, from this book, than any other that I have read, although you will get more from this book, if you already have some familiarity with the subject.
