SUMMARY:Reconsidering the Rise of a Newly Discovered Iron Age Kingdom in Anatolia:
DTSTART:20261214T223000Z
DTEND:20261215T003000Z
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will take place in person at ISAW. Registrati
 on is required\; click through for the registration link. Since the 20
 19 discovery of a royal inscription authored by "Great King Hartapu," 
 Iron Age Anatolian scholarship has been energised by the appearance of
  a hitherto unknown kingdom in the Konya Plain. While the historical c
 ontext of Hartapu’s inscriptions have undergone dramatic reassessmen
 t in light of this new text\, little attention has been paid to the co
 nditions that would have contributed to the rise of this kingdom in th
 e first place. This lecture proposes several factors that likely playe
 d a role in the emergence of the kingdom: cultural and economic intera
 ction with the Neo-Assyrian Empire\, similar relations with Phrygia\, 
 emulative competition with its local peer polities and a propitious ec
 ological setting at a time of significant environmental transformation
