Abstract

Abstract This paper synthesises the data and results of the Konya Regional Archaeological Survey Project (2016–2020) in order to address the earliest evidence for cities and states on the Konya and Karaman plains, central Turkey. A nested and integrative approach is developed that draws on a wide range of spatially extensive datasets to outline meaningful trends in settlement, water management and regional defensive systems during the Bronze and Iron Ages. The significance of the regional centre of Türkmen-Karahöyük for a reconstruction of early state polities between the 13th and eighth centuries BCE is addressed. In light of this regional analysis, it is tentatively suggested that, during the Late Bronze Age, Türkmen-Karahöyük was the location of the city of Tarḫuntašša, briefly the Hittite capital during the reign of Muwatalli II. More assuredly, based on the analysis of the newly discovered Middle Iron Age TÜRKMEN-KARAHÖYÜK 1 inscription, it is proposed that Türkmen-Karahöyük was the seat of a kingdom during the eighth century BCE that likely encompassed the Konya and Karaman plains.

土耳其科尼亚和卡拉曼平原的城市化和早期国家形成的景观导向方法

本文综合了科尼亚地区考古调查项目(2016-2020)的数据和结果，以解决土耳其中部科尼亚和卡拉曼平原上城市和州的最早证据。本文开发了一种嵌套的综合方法，利用广泛的空间数据集来概述青铜和铁器时代的定居、水管理和区域防御系统的有意义的趋势。论述了Türkmen-Karahöyük区域中心对重建公元前13世纪至公元前8世纪早期国家政策的重要性。根据这一区域分析，我们初步认为，在青铜时代晚期，Türkmen-Karahöyük是Tarḫuntašša城的所在地，在穆瓦塔利二世统治期间，Tarḫuntašša城曾短暂地成为赫梯人的首都。更可靠的是，根据对新发现的中铁器时代TÜRKMEN-KARAHÖYÜK 1铭文的分析，有人提出Türkmen-Karahöyük是公元前8世纪一个王国的所在地，可能包括科尼亚和卡拉曼平原。
