很少有学科能像纪念碑和城市规划那样激发考古学家在古代复杂社会中的想象力。然而，这两个主题很少在一个单一的研究中进行持续的综合调查，尽管纪念性建筑通常被认为是确定城市规划存在的主要基础。本文提出了相关的方法论的论点，这两种现象受益于更充分的考虑对方，有意义的方面的纪念碑和城市符号需要考虑与正式方面的纪念碑和城市布局。这些立场，然后实施在一个研究的叙利亚-安纳托利亚城邦制度，存在于古代近东在公元前第一个千年的早期。这些政体的首都城市的特点是具有纪念性的计划，将皇室、城墙、城门和纪念性雕塑纳入一个明确无误的协会星座。这种纪念碑和城市形式的一致性表明，至少存在一定程度的城市规划。
Few subjects have excited the imagination of archaeologists working in ancient complex societies as have monumentality and urban planning. Yet the two topics are rarely explicitly theorized in a sustained integrated investigation within a single study, despite the fact that monumental architecture is often considered a primary basis for identifying the presence of urban planning. This article makes the related methodological arguments that both phenomena benefit from a more full consideration of one another, and that the meaningful aspect of monumentality and urban symbology needs to be considered in conjunction with the formal aspect of monuments and urban layouts. These positions are then implemented in a study of the Syro-Anatolian city-state system that existed in the ancient Near East during the early first millennium bc. The capital cities of these polities were characterized by a program of monumentality that brought royalty, city walls, gates and monumental sculpture into an unmistakable constellation of associations. The consistency of this pattern of monumentality and urban form suggests that at least a degree of urban planning existed.
