Hitherto, research on the Hittites has been highly specialised and often separated by discipline: history, philology and archaeology (in which natural sciences are taking a more prominent role). Unfortunately, no up-to date publication has been available to bring the work and evidence of these different fields together, making it extremely difficult for the non-specialist to obtain a general overview of Hittite studies. This volume closes that gap by providing contributions on several key issues in Hittite studies based on new developments and approaches from historical, philological and archaeological points of view. The subjects discussed include history, state and society, the written legacy, the environment and economy, foreign contacts, cities, temples and sanctuaries, military and warfare, pottery, and metals and metallurgy. The contributions are written by specialists actively engaged in research in their respective fields. The time-frame of this volume extends from the period of the Old Hittite kingdom in the 17th century BC to the end of the Hittite Empire in the early years of the 12th century BC. Detailed contributions, a research overview and a comprehensive index create a useful introduction to the vast and complex field of Hittite studies. Fore more information please follow the link.

Giulia Torri, Valentina Orsi
This book contains studies on the symbolic significance of the landscape for the communities inhabiting the central Anatolian plateau and the Upper Euphrates and Tigris valleys in the 2nd-1st millennia BC. Some of the scholars who attended to the international conference Sacred Landscapes of Hittites and Luwians held in Florence in February 2014, present here contributions on the religious, symbolic and social landscapes of Anatolia between the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age. Archaeologists, hittitologists and historians highlight how the ancient populations perceived many elements of the environment, like mountains, rivers and rocks, but also atmospheric agents, and natural phenomena as essential part of their religious and ideological world. Analysing landscapes, architectures and topographies built by the Anatolian communities in the second and first millennia BC, the framework of a symbolic construction intended for specific actions and practices clearly emerges.

The Archaeology of Religion in Hittite Anatolia

Material evidence for the religion of the Late Bronze Age kingdom of Hatti may be found in the remains of places of worship—temples, open-air sanctuaries, and built sacred places, as well as in the artifacts of artistic and craft production—from monumental reliefs carved into living rock, to ritual vessels, small pendants, and figurines. As the Hittite kings looked beyond their natural territory in central Anatolia, they sought to create a visual language—sometimes incorporating foreign elements—to promote a unifying ideology with an iconographic form that was uniquely Hittite. Despite the challenges inherent in locating regional variation within this superimposed material matrix, clues to local traditions emerge from ritual objects such as figurines, from cult stelae, and from the sacred landscapes that shaped both local and official forms of veneration.
