Wine and Viticulture in Hittite Anatolia

赫梯安纳托利亚的葡萄酒和葡萄栽培项目的目标是在全面评估文本来源的基础上，对赫梯安纳托利亚的葡萄栽培和葡萄酒进行详尽的研究，特别是大量的赫梯楔形文字文本；虽然主要是一项古生物学研究方案，但对文本来源的分析和解释将借助发掘、景观分析和古植物学研究中获得的考古数据。该主题的范围不仅包括来自赫梯档案的各种类型的文本，而且还涉及赫梯文化的各个部分：经济和行政；社会、劳工和皇室意识形态；宗教观念，对神的崇拜和丧葬习俗。拟议的研究计划的个别目标（其结果将作为撰写的书籍出版）是：(1)一个全面的，对赫梯安纳托利亚文本中与葡萄栽培及其产品相关的复杂术语进行基于语境的词汇分析，(2)重建赫梯安纳托利亚的主要葡萄种植区，并分析其在赫梯国家组织结构中的地位，(3)重建将葡萄种植和葡萄酒生产与主要消费场所联系起来的分布结构，(4)研究与葡萄栽培有关的专家和工人；(5)研究赫梯社会中葡萄和葡萄酒的象征价值，以及这些象征价值被运用的背景；(6)对理解赫梯葡萄栽培的关键楔形文字文本的重建和批判版本（包括在Hethitologie-Portal Mainz的框架内对这些文本的在线展示：http://www.hethport.uni-wuerzburg.de）。

The objective of the project Wine and Viticulture in Hittite Anatolia is an exhaustive study of viticulture and wine in Hittite Anatolia based on a comprehensive evaluation of the textual sources, in particular the large body of Hittite cuneiform texts; while primarily a Hittitological research programme, the analysis and interpretation of the textual sources will be aided by the use of archaeological data as it emerges from excavations, landscape analysis and palaeobotanical research. The scope of the topic comprises not only a wide array of various genres of texts from the Hittite archives but also concerns various segments of Hittite culture: economy and administration; society, labour and royal ideology; religious ideas, cult of the gods and funerary practices.The individual objectives of the proposed research programme whose results will be published as an authored book are(1) a comprehensive, context-based lexical analysis of the complex terminology associated with viticulture and its products in texts from Hittite Anatolia,(2) a reconstruction of the main vine cultivation areas of Hittite Anatolia and an analysis of their position within the organizational structures of the Hittite state,(3) a reconstruction of the distributional structures that connected vine cultivation and wine production with the main places of consumption, especially the Hittite temple cult,(4) a study of the experts and workers associated with viticulture,(5) a study of the symbolic values attributed to the vine and to wine in Hittite society and of the contexts in which these symbolic values are employed, especially within the sphere of the cult,(6) reconstructions and critical editions of a selection of cuneiform texts that are key for an understanding of Hittite viticulture (including an online presentation of these texts within the framework of the Hethitologie-Portal Mainz: http://www.hethport.uni-wuerzburg.de).
