Unpublished Inscriptions from Pisidian Antioch
Authors: Levick Barbara 
Published: January 2007

It is many years since scholars began systematically to copy and publish the inscriptions of Colonia Caesarea (Pisidian Antioch), but the site of the colony and the houses and streets of the neighbouring town of Yalvaç still have much to yield. The following inscriptions, hitherto unpublished, were collected in 1955. They are arranged here according to language. The Latin inscriptions come first: a group of architectural fragments and dedications to Roman emperors, ranging widely in date but belonging for the most part to the early fourth century, is followed by some dedications to private individuals, probably persons of good standing in the colony. The Greek inscriptions may be divided into three classes: epitaphs, dedications to the gods, and some late, Christian, fragments; official tituli are wanting.I. In the garden of the Ortokul at Yalvaç, on a broken entablature now measuring 66 cm. in length by 42 cm. in height by 36 cm. in depth (lower surface). The letters range from 7·5 to 5·5 cm. in height. The inscription is complete above, where there is a moulding, and below (on the right at least).
The Sultantepe Tablets (continued)VIII. Shalmaneser In Ararat
Authors: Lambert W. G. 
Published: January 2007

Among the Sultantepe tablets one attracts attention by its unexpectedness. It is, to quote O. R. Gurney's description,an account of the campaign of Shalmaneser III against Urartu [the Biblical Ararat], preceded by a speech in which reference is made to previous campaigns against Bit-Adini, Til-Barsip and the Kings of the Hittites.The Sultantepe Tablets, I, p. 4, on No. 43.Accounts of the campaigns undertaken by Assyrian kings did not ordinarily circulate along with epics, hymns, incantations and the other categories of texts which went to make up a library in an Assyrian town. Such historical accounts were incorporated in inscriptions composed to glorify the king concerned, and however busy scribes may have been multiplying copies during the reign of a particular king, the coming to power of his successor resulted in an immediate and total neglect of these inscriptions.
Carchemish: Reflections on the Chronology of the Sculpture.
Authors: Mallowan M. E. L. 
Published: January 2007

To Seton Lloyd, who has been my friend for 45 years, and long ago met me in the field at Khorsabad, Ur and Eridu, I dedicate this essay on Carchemish, a subject on which he has written with his customary distinction.

The chronology and sequence dating of the rich series of sculpture discovered at Carchemish remains a problem, even after 60 years of investigation, but it is generally recognised that Leonard Woolley exaggerated the antiquity of some of the orthostats and it is no longer possible to assign any of them to the second millennium B.C. On the contrary, many critics will now support Frankfort's view that none of this particular series of sculptures could have been executed without an awareness of neo-Assyrian art.
Frankfort's view is also shared by Akurgal who has judiciously assigned much of the Carchemish sculpture to a period ranging from the middle of the ninth to the latter half of the eighth century B.C. and has justified his sequence dating by reference to the development of sculpture at Zincirli where we have a sequence of carving which ranges from about 850–830 B.C. (Kilamu) or possibly a generation earlier, through Panammu I c. 790 B.C., Panammu II c. 760 B.C. and Bar-rakib c. 740 B.C.
Valerius Valentinianus, Praeses of Isauria.

Since it was my good fortune to begin working in Anatolia while Seton Lloyd was Director of the Ankara Institute, and to enjoy his friendly encouragement for several years, I am glad to have the opportunity of dedicating this article to him.In June, 1958, the following inscription was discovered by the writer in Yazdamıköy, one of a group of villages near the ancient site of Isaura (Zengibar Kalesi), which is situated on a mountain crest some 10 km. east of Bozkır and the valley of the Çarşamba Çayı. Large quantities of material from the site have been recorded within these villages since Hamilton first visited the area in 1837. There can, therefore, be little doubt about the provenance of this particular block of limestone, slightly moulded at the top, broken bottom left and to right; H. 0·34, W. 0·93, Th. unknown (buried behind), letters 2·5 cm.
Two Notes on Lydian Topography
Authors: Lane Eugene N. 
Published: January 2007

In my recent publication of the epigraphical evidence for the cult of the god Men, I made a couple of topographical equations on which further comment is necessary. One of these (Kula/Koloe) has been generally abandoned in recent scholarship, but I think that it is defensible, and would like to take this opportunity to defend it. The other (Ayazviran/Koresa), I would like to withdraw, in favour of proposing the possible equation Köres/Koresa.Following an old tradition, based on the principle of survival of proper names, I stated that the present day town of Kula was called Koloe in antiquity. Koloe was a widespread place-name in Greco-Roman Lydia. The name is apparently of non-Greek origin, and whatever it may have meant, it seems to have been very much suited to place-names. Three places in Lydia are definitely known to have borne the name in antiquity: a lake, a polis, and a katoikia. At some Koloe in Lydia, Attalus I of Pergamum defeated Antiochus Hierax in 229/8 B.C.
A New Duplicate Fragment of the Hittite Instructions to Temple Officials
Authors: Hulin P. 
Published: January 2007

This piece was shown in Ankara some years ago to the present writer, whose copy of it is reproduced overleaf. It contains most of what corresponds to lines 2–14 of column III of the best preserved text (Bo. 2019, KUB. XIII, 4, Sturtevant's A) of the instructions to priests and temple officials published, with supplements from six fragmentary duplicate pieces, by E. H. Sturtevant in JAOS. 54 (1934), 363–406 (at pp. 380–1, 402–3), and, with improvements but with omission of some fragmentary passages, by Sturtevant and G. Bechtel in A Hittite Chrestomathy (1935), 127–74 (at pp. 137, 156–7, 172); five more fragments have been published as KUB. XXXI, 92–5; XL, 63.None of these eleven fragments contains the part of the instructions surviving on the present piece, though what appears to be a similar double vertical ruling at the right of the fragment Bo. 3914 (KUB. XXVI, 31, Sturtevant's F, belonging also to column III and beginning at a point a little after the point at which the text of the present piece ends) permits the suggestion that that fragment may have belonged to the same tablet as the present piece. But the condition in which Bo. 2019 itself has survived in the passage partly covered by the present new fragment leaves little room for completion or improvement of the text; most of the variants now offered, and listed below the following transliteration, are orthographic.
The European Merchants in Angora
Authors: Barnett R. D. 
Published: January 2007

Ties linking Britain with Ankara go back many centuries; probably the earliest evidence of them was published by David French in the last number of this Journal, in the form of a letter from Ambassador William Harborne to James Towerson dated to 1583; other evidence can certainly be gleaned from the extensive papers of the long extinct Levant Company. The present writer is able to point to a little more evidence formerly visible in Ankara itself.Angora, the modern Ankara, now so easily reached by rail and air services, under the ancien régime must have seemed to Europeans almost forbiddingly remote.The wildest guesses were made about its population and opinions fluctuated as to its attractions and importance. In 1700, a French traveller, Tournefort gave its population as 40,000 Moslems, 5,000 Armenians and 600 Greeks. Pococke (1737) speaks of 10,000 Christians. Poujoulat (1836–7) describes it, apart from Nicomedia, as the poorest Turkish town he had seen. He estimated its population as 20,000 Turks, 3,000 Catholic Armenians, 700 Greeks and 500 Jews. Yet in 1834–7 von Tschihatscheff spoke of it as having 8,000 Catholic Armenians, 500 Armenians of the national church, and 1,500 Greeks.
Prehistoric Sites in Northwest Anatolia: II. The Balıkesir and Akhisar/Manisa Areas
Authors: French D. H. 
Published: January 2007

In this article I have presented the second synthesis of information and material gathered from surface survey in Western Anatolia. This article, in fact, completes the publication of the work that I undertook in 1959–60 when I was joint Scholar of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara. My aim in 1959–60 was to discover what prehistoric remains could be found, especially in the Akhisar/Manisa region but also in the area around Balıkesir. Both regions were archaeologically almostterra incognita—at least in the publications.I have, therefore, felt that it is justifiable to publish the information that was recorded ten years ago although, at the same time, it must be admitted that aims and methods in archaeology have radically changed since 1959, and that methods of illustration and publication have changed along with the aims themselves. Much of modern archaeology is turning (? rightly) to the new approaches—the new “models”—but analytical archaeology, however propounded, is at the mercy of the data available for it. Data must still be collected, especially from sources where basic, primary information did not exist before. It is perhaps unfortunate that in Anatolia, until recently, scant attention has been paid to the accurate compilation of basic information.
Regio Ipsina et Moeteana
Authors: Ballance M. H. 
Published: January 2007

This article stems from the writer's discovery in 1955 of an inscribed sarcophagus at Prymnessus, the modern Süğlün, 8 km. south-east of Afyon. It had been intended to follow this up by a reexamination of the stone itself and by an intensive survey, on the ground, of the ancient topography of the valley of the Phrygian Caÿster. But the necessary field-work has been prevented by various considerations, both inside and outside Turkey, and it seems only fair to others interested in this part of Phrygia to publish the inscription and draw at least preliminary conclusions from it.Süğlün; reused as a horse-trough in a fountain, Güvercinlik Çeşmesi, at the south end of the village. Pink trachyte sarcophagus, moulded above, buried below, with tabula ansata. Height 0·57 m. plus, width 2·07 m., thickness 0·83 m., letters 0·03–0·04 m.
Forschungen im Artemision von Ephesos von 1976 bis 1981
Authors: Bammer Von Anton 
Published: January 2007

Der letzte größere Bericht zum Artemision von Ephesos beruhte auf den Grabungen bis 1975 mit einem kleinen Nachtrag aus der Grabung 1976. Auch im Katalog zur Ephesosausstellung in Wien 1978 erschien ein Bericht über neue Forschungsergebnisse, insbesondere das Modell des spätklassischen Altares (Pl. XIa). Außerdem wurde anläßlich eines Kongresses der École Française de Rome 1980 über “Architecture et Société” auch zu neueren Ergebnissen am Artemision Stellung genommen. Ansonsten war nur den jährlich erscheinenden Berichten über die Grabungen in Ephesos im Anzeiger der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Wien einiges zu entnehmen.Eine Überraschung der Grabung im Jahre 1977 war die Freilegung des Fundamentes eines apsidalen Baues, mit seiner Apsis nach Osten. Erhalten ist das Fundament aus kleinen Hausteinen (Pl. XIb). Der südliche Ast des Fundamentes dürfte irgendwann teilweise zerstört worden sein, weil aus seinen Resten eine Verbindung zur schräg laufenden Rinne aus Kalkmergelsteinen hergestellt worden ist. Der Boden des Apsidenbaues ist noch erhalten, er bestand aus einem ockerfarbenen Lehm-Sandgemisch. Auf dem Boden fand sich das Fragment eines polychromen Gefäßes mit einem Gesicht am Gefäßrand (Pl. XIc). Das Fragment stammt offenbar aus jüngerer Zeit als der Apsidenbau.
Ear Studs for Greek Ladies
Authors: Brein Friedrich 
Published: January 2007

By the following lines I should like to express my gratitude to Fritz Eichler, the late Director of the Austrian Archaeological Institute, a gentleman whose like may not be found so easily nowadays, who made possible A. Bammer's work at the Ephesus Artemisium, and who directed my interest to East Greek art and artistry as well, since at the moment times are hard for an archaeologist who works on other than Roman Imperial trifles at Efes City.When Bammer came across bobbin-like objects made of rock crystal, some people thought that he had found parts of Wood's surveying devices or the like, in spite of the fact that they came without any doubt from stratified layers dated between 650 and 550 B.C. Besides, Hogarth had unearthed some 15 pieces of this type already. These “large studs or buttons”, as Hogarth had called them, are hyperboloids of specific shape turned on a lathe, as can be inferred by a faint deepening in the centre of the larger side of some of these hyperboloids. The larger side is always concave, the smaller one plane or slightly convex.
Troy and Anatolian Early Bronze Age Chronology
Authors: Yakar Jak 
Published: January 2007

The use of an absolute chronological framework based on tree-ring calibrated C-14 dates has been recently proposed by D. F. Easton in his attempt “… to come to grips with the crucial and difficult dating of Troy” (Easton 1976:146). Easton points out that unlike Tarsus, whose relative dating vis-a-vis Mesopotamia and Egypt is stable, Troy's relative chronology is not agreed upon and this “impinges not only on Anatolia, but on the Aegean and Bulgaria as well”.In establishing his chronology Easton uses, in addition to “the normal comparative methods”, two sources: (a) radiocarbon dates which, after calibration, especially when using Suess's calibration curve, affect both relative and absolute dating, (b) his reassessed stratigraphy of the Bronze Age levels at Troy (Easton 1976; 1977).Easton in his new chronological structure has not taken into consideration certain facts and opinions surrounding tree-ring calibrated radiocarbon dating. In view of the persisting controversy regarding this scientific dating method, it is premature, at least as far as Anatolia is concerned, to replace the relative dates derived from historical synchronisms with calibrated “absolute” C-14 dates.
Disciplinary Agents in the Sepulchral Inscriptions of Lycia
Authors: Bryce T. R. 
Published: January 2007

Lycian scholars have long recognized that a number of the sepulchral inscriptions of Lycia refer to certain disciplinary agents responsible for punishing persons guilty of illegal use of a tomb—e.g. by making unauthorized burials in the tomb. TL 57 provides a typical example:hrppiye mei:tadi:tike:me ne:tubeiti:mãhãi huwedri.se itlehi:trmili: (lines 8–9)“If (anyone) places anyone (else) upon them (i.e. the authorized tomb occupants), the huwedri gods and the Lycian itlehi will punish him.”There has been some fluctuation of opinion on the actual nature of the disciplinary agents involved. Many of them once thought to have been secular authorities can now quite confidently be regarded as deities or religious institutions, and this of course throws a rather different light on the nature and purpose of the penalty clauses in the inscriptions. In some cases, these clauses seem to have threatened the offender with divine retribution and nothing more, but in other cases, the offender apparently risked a more tangible form of penalty. One might then ask to whom precisely a tomb violator was answerable for his offence, and what precisely was the nature of the penalty imposed upon him.
Two New Seal-Inscriptions
Authors: Sollberger E. 
Published: January 2007

The seal-inscriptions published here have been chosen as a fitting, albeit very modest, tribute to Professor Gurney as they both have a faint Hurrian flavour. One appears on the seal of a royal scribe bearing a Hurrian name; the other gives us the name of a new king of Ḫaraḫar, a place currently located in a Hurrian, or Human-influenced, region and whose only hitherto known king bore the Hurrian name, Ankiš-atal. The seals will be fully published by Dr D. Collon in a forthcoming volume of the Catalogue of the Western Asiatic Seals in The British Museum: only the inscriptions are therefore discussed in these pages.1. BM 102055 = 1905-12-9,3 is a seal of the in-na-ba-type characteristic of the later part of the Third Dynasty of Ur and lingering on into the following period, but it shows clear signs of re-use. The legend (in Akkadian, judging by line 2) reads.
The Second Millennium Painted Pottery Tradition of the Van Lake Basin
Authors: Çilingiroğlu Altan 
Published: January 2007

Some painted pottery recently purchased by the East Anatolian museums is of considerable interest from the point of view of second millennium cultures in the Van and Urmia Basins. Taking into account the suggestion that a cultural break occurred around Lake Van in the second millennium B.C., the importance of these painted vessels increases.Excavations outside Eastern Anatolia, particularly in North-West Iran, have produced painted pottery in considerable quantities dating to the second millennium B.C. Haftavan Tepe and Geoy Tepe are two of the main sites which supply detailed information about this painted pottery, and suggestions have been made previously by M. R. Edwards about their distribution.The painted pottery in the East Anatolian museums clearly demonstrates that such vessels are not restricted to the region of Lake Urmia. The occurrence of a painted pottery tradition around Lake Van may well indicate that this region was not culturally isolated in the second millennium B.C.
Colonel Leake and the Classical Topography of Asia Minor
Authors: Wagstaff J. M. 
Published: January 2007

Almost everyone interested in the classical topography of Asia Minor is acquainted with the name of Leake. To Ramsay (1890, 51) he was “the greatest of modern topographers”. But few will know more than that he was a scholar to be reckoned with when attempting to locate classical sites or reconstruct ancient topographies. This paper outlines his career and his work on Asia Minor.Colonel Leake (Plate II a), as he was generally known during the last 47 years of his life, was born in Bolton Row, off Bolton Street, Piccadilly, on 14 January, 1777. The family name was actually Martin-Leake. It was adopted by William's great-grandfather, Captain Stephen Martin, in 1721 after he had inherited much of the property of his life-long friend, brother-in-law and commander, Sir John Leake (1656–1720), Rear-Admiral of Great Britain (Markham 1895). William's grandfather, after a spell in the Navy Office, became a herald (1727) and finally (1754) Garter King of Arms. Stephen Martin Leake, in fact, was one of the great holders of that office. Not only did he save the College of Arms from foundering, but he also launched it on a major phase of revival. He was a considerable heraldic scholar, as well (Noble 1805, 408–14; Wagner 1967, 380–406). Garter's second son, and William's father, was John Martin Leake (1739–1836).
An aerial Survey of Çevre Kale, Yaraşli
Authors: Summers G. D. 
Published: January 2007

About 1 km. north of the village of Yaraşlı on a natural hill that forms an extension of Karaca Daǧ, is a large and impressively defended site locally called Çevre Kale (Fig. 1). Pottery from the surface is Imperial Hittite and Phrygian in date. There is later material, Hellenistic to Byzantine, beneath and adjacent to the village. Yaraşlı is a large well watered village in the Kulu district (ilce) of Konya province (il). The map reference is 59-Ie on the 1:200,000 sheet for Katrancı (Harita Genel Müdürlüǧü 1945).The aims of the project were to produce a photographic record of the site from the air, using a helium filled blimp and remote controlled camera, from which plans could be drawn and relationships between the various elements of the site determined. Air photographs revealed outlines of buildings that could not be seen on the ground (Pls XLI–XLV(a)). An overall plan has been drawn (Fig. 3). In some cases it has been possible to draw stone for stone plans (Fig. 5 and Pl. XLIV(b), Fig. 6 and Pl. XLV(a)). The results are much superior to those that could have been achieved by traditional cadastral survey and were obtained in a short time. During the course of the day photographs can be taken in varying light so that changes in shadow highlight different features.
Metalwork in the Gaziantep and Adana Museums: an Addendum
Authors: Özgen Engin , Summers G. D. 
Published: January 2007

The publication in this journal of a hoard of metalwork reported to have come from the region of Sakçagözü omitted any reference to the original publication of this material by Engin Özgen in 1985. The opportunity has now been taken to publish photographs of the two copper (?alloy) figurines and their gold and silver adornments, one in the Adana Museum and the other in Gaziantep Museum (PI. XV) and, because the original publication is out of print, to provide a detailed description of the Adana piece. We are grateful to the Directors of the two museums Bey İsmet İpek (Adana) and Bey Rifat Ergeç (Gaziantep) for facilitating this study and to Tuğrul Čakar for the photographs.No new information concerning the discovery and dispersal of the metalwork has come to light. It is the conviction of the authors that the close stylistic and technical resemblance between the two figurines and the addition to both of gold foil and silver torques greatly increases the probability that, firstly, the pieces are genuine antiquities and, secondly, that all of the objects were found together in a single hoard. No new evidence has emerged to contradict our earlier, independently deduced suggestion of an early second millennium date.
The Milyas and the Attalids: a Decree of the City of Olbasa and a New Royal Letter of the Second Century B.C.
Authors: Kearsley R. A. 
Published: January 2007

The site of Olbasa was first identified by the discovery of two Latin imperial inscriptions near the modern village of Belenli in 1842 and even today the surviving evidence from Olbasa (including as it does both texts and coins) still belongs chiefly to the imperial period. Olbasa's prominence then stemmed from the fact that it was “refounded” by Augustus as a military colony. Very little has been pieced together of the history and development of the city prior to the arrival of the Romans and the present inscription, therefore, represents a large advance on our knowledge of Olbasa in the Hellenistic period as well as contributing to our understanding of developments in the region at large.Modern research on the area of south-western Asia Minor now known as Lycia and Pisidia has been greatly assisted by the work of George Bean and Alan Hall both of whom published major articles containing topographical discussions and many previously unknown inscriptions. The Pisidian Survey Project led by Stephen Mitchell has also contributed greatly to our historical understanding of the region in both the Hellenistic and Roman periods by the archaeological studies conducted at the cities of Antioch by Pisidia, Sagalassos, Cremna and Ariassos.
