Ancient Gordion, Paperback / softback Book

Paperback / softback

Description

Ancient Gordion has long been recognized as a key Iron Age site for Anatolia and the eastern Mediterranean.

Archaeological research has revealed much about its sequence of occupation.

However, as yet no study has explored the underlying drivers of political and economic change at this site.

This volume presents an overview of the political and economic histories supporting emergent elites and how they constructed power at Gordion during the Iron Age (1200-300 BCE).

Based on geochemical and typological analysis of nearly 2000 Late Bronze Age to Hellenistic ceramic samples, the volume contextualizes this primary dataset through the lens of ceramic production, consumption, exchange and emulation.

Synthesizing site data sets, the volume more broadly contributes to our understanding of the pivotal role of groups and their economic, social, and ritual practices in the creation of complex societies.
