Hardback. Condition: Good. Some of the most dramatic new discoveries in Asia Minor have been made at Gordion, the Phrygian capital that controlled much of central Asia Minor for close to two centuries. The most famous ruler of the kingdom was Midas, who regularly negotiated with Greeks in the west and Assyrians in the east during his reign. Excavations have been conducted at Gordion over the course of the last 60 years, all under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. In spite of the economic and political importance of Gordion and the Phrygians, the site is consistently omitted from courses in Old World archaeology, primarily because Gordion lies too far to the west for many Near Eastern archaeologists, and too far to the east for classical archaeologists. Moreover, there is no book that offers a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the material culture of Gordion during the Phrygian period, a gap that will be filled by this volume. The chapters cover all aspects of Gordion's Phrygian settlement topography from the arrival of the Phrygians in the tenth century B.C. through the arrival of Alexander the Great in 333 B.C., focusing on the site's changing topography and the consistently fluctuating interaction between the inhabitants and the landscape. A reexamination of the material culture of Phrygian Gordion is particularly timely, given the dramatic recent changes in the site's chronology, wherein the dates of many discoveries have changed by as much as a century. The authors are among the leading experts in Near Eastern archaeology, historic preservation, paleobotany, and ancient furniture, and their articles highlight the interdisciplinary nature of the Gordion project. A significant component of the book is a new color phase plan of the site that succinctly presents the topography in diachronic perspective.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Published 2011. Hardcover, x, 181 pp.; 29 cm; published as Gordion Special Studies VI and Museum Monograph 133, distributed by the University of Pennsylvania Press; profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs, plans, line drawings, maps, tables, and charts; pictorial endpaper map of Anatolia, the Near East, and the Aegean. Includes Turkish summary (Özet). In Very Good condition, no dust jacket. Dark green cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on the front board and spine, and a gilt-stamped square device of a Phrygian horseman on the front board. Mild shelf wear. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. A multidisciplinary reassessment of the chronology of Iron Age Gordion (central Turkey), the capital of ancient Phrygia. The first excavation director Rodney Young, working in the 1950s, interpreted a major destruction level at the Citadel Mound as evidence of the Kimmerian invasion of ca. 700 BC. Drawing on dendrochronology, radiocarbon dating, textual evidence, and re-examination of the artifacts, the contributors here argue that the destruction occurred a full century earlier, ca. 800 BC, and was the result of a fire that spread out of control rather than a foreign invasion. The conclusion has wide-ranging implications for the chronology of Anatolia, Assyria, Syria, Greece, and Urartu in the first millennium BC. Edited by C. Brian Rose and Gareth Darbyshire, with contributions from Keith DeVries, Bernd Kromer, Peter Ian Kuniholm, Richard F. Liebhart, Sturt W. Manning, Maryanne W. Newton, G. Kenneth Sams, and Mary M.

Hardback. Condition: New. Gordion is frequently remembered as the location of an intricate knot ultimately cut by Alexander, but in antiquity it served as the center of the Phrygian kingdom that ruled much of Asia Minor during the early millennium B.C.E. The site lies approximately seventy kilometers southeast of Ankara in central Turkey, at the intersection of the great empires of the East (Assyrians, Babylonians, and Hittites) and the West (Greeks and Romans). Consequently, it occupied a strategic position on nearly all trade routes that linked the Mediterranean and the Near East. The University of Pennsylvania has been excavating at Gordion since 1950, unearthing a wide range of discoveries that span nearly four millennia. The vast majority of these artifacts attests to the city's interactions with the other great kingdoms and city states of the Near East during the Iron Age and Archaic periods (ca. 950-540 B.C.E.), especially Assyria, Urartu, Persia, Lydia, Greece, and the Neo-Hittite city-states of North Syria, among others. Gordion is thus the ideal centerpiece of an exhibition dealing with Anatolia and its neighbors during the first millennium B.C.E. Through a special agreement signed between the Republic of Turkey and the University of Pennsylvania, Turkey has loaned the Penn Museum more than one hundred artifacts gathered from four museums in Turkey (Ankara, Gordion, Istanbul, and Antalya) for an exhibition titled The Golden Age of King Midas. The exhibition features most of the material recovered in Tumulus MM, or the "Midas Mound" (ca. 740 B.C.E.), which was the burial site of King Midas's father, as well as a number of objects found in a series of Lydian tombs. The Turkish loan has made possible a uniquely comprehensive and elaborate exhibition that also features a disparate group of rarely seen objects from the Penn Museum's own collections, particularly from sites in the Ukraine, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Greece. With the historic King Midas (ca. 740-700 B.C.E.) as its guiding theme, the exhibition illuminates the relationships Phrygia maintained with Lydia, Persia, Assyria, and Greece. The accompanying catalog includes full-color illustrations and essays that expound on the sites and objects of the exhibition.…
