İLK TUNÇ ÇAĞI VE ORTA TUNÇ ÇAĞI’NDA BATI ANADOLU’NUN KÜLTÜREL VE SİYASAL GELİŞİMİ

Cultural and Political Development of Western Anatolia in the Early and Middle Bronze Ages

According to the evidence indicated by archeological material from the Early Bronze Age, it is highly possible that a new organization emerged in terms of cultural and political aspect in Western Anatolia. This becomes especially apparent by the emergence of local pottery distribution areas. They indicate, perhaps, the areas controlled by the local political powers indirectly. Architecture and archaeological finds from the succeeding phases of the Early Bronze Age support the theory of the emergence of more dynamic local political powers and urbanism parallel to this development. The region increased its cultural and commercial relations with the far distant areas, as these kingdoms gained more and more political and economical power. One of the most critical problems awaiting here to be solved is if there is any relation between these local kingdoms and the west Anatolian “lands” of the Second Millennium B.C. mentioned in the Hittite texts. In the light of the new reseach the thesis examines the cultural and political development of western Anatolia, from the beginnings up to the end of the Early Bronze Age and looks for possible answers to clarify what kind of a relation existed between the EBA kingdoms and the “lands” of the 2nd Millennium Western Anatolia, in other words if the “lands” are the succesors of the EBA local political powers.
