Publisher's Synopsis
This fifth volume of a collection devoted to the interdisciplinary meetings held one every two years at K?ltepe, ancient Kane?, brings together eighteen contributions dedicated to the archaeology and history of this Central Anatolian site and its surroundings. Each chapter within the volume presents the results of current research into K?ltepe. Drawing on K?ltepe's unique textual and archaeological data, the studies gathered here are organized into four key thematic sections devoted respectively to politics, law and religion; women, family and correspondence; human and animal skeletons; and to the most recent archaeological excavations in K?ltepe covering a period from the Chalcolithic to Hellenistic times.
