Product Description
Review
'a well-written and easy-to-read volume that every student and scholar of ancient Anatolia ought to have on their bookshelf.' – Claudia Glatz, Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research
'...a much recommended purchase.' – Archeologie
Product Description
Students of antiquity often see ancient Turkey as a bewildering array of cultural complexes. Ancient Turkey brings together in a coherent account the diverse and often fragmented evidence, both archaeological and textual, that forms the basis of our knowledge of the development of Anatolia from the earliest arrivals to the end of the Iron Age.
Much new material has recently been excavated and unlike Greece, Mesopotamia, and its other neighbours, Turkey has been poorly served in terms of comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible discussions of its ancient past. Ancient Turkey is a much needed resource for students and scholars, providing an up-to-date account of the widespread and extensive archaeological activity in Turkey.
Covering the entire span before the Classical period, fully illustrated with over 160 images and written in lively prose, this text will be enjoyed by anyone interested in the archaeology and early history of Turkey and the ancient Near East.

Archaeology of Ancient Anatolia, Nov 11 2010

This review is from: Ancient Turkey (Paperback)
This is a superbly readable account of the ancient civilizations of Anatolia. Although intended for the professionals in the field, it is very gracefully written and can be enjoyed by the lay reader as well. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Ancient Turkey (Paperback)
A Superb, highly readable work. A must for those interested in the ancient history and archaeology of Asia Minor. The book has a good, up to date bibliograpy.

Valuable on Several Levels, Oct 24 2011
By Evelyn Sue Coon - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ancient Turkey (Paperback)
If you are a traditional student of ancient history this book is great, with a lot of facts and archaeological levels. If you are a non-traditional student, like myself, this is equally as valuable. Not only will you learn a great deal about ancient Turkey, you will get a really good insight into how civilizations developed. I have learned more about that, from this book, than any other that I have read, although you will get more from this book, if you already have some familiarity with the subject.
