Western Anatolia in the 2nd Millennium BC: Local Culture and Foreign Contacts

在该项目的框架内，将介绍和评估从青铜时代中期开始到青铜时代晚期的西安纳托利亚文化的各个方面，包括当地的发展和外国的影响。西安纳托利亚第二百万年研究。公元前自19世纪末开始发展，但整个文化景观一直笼罩在更知名、更强大的邻居的阴影下：赫梯人、安纳托利亚中部以及米诺斯和迈锡尼文化圈。从书面资料中得知的赫梯人的征服，以及殖民思想或来自爱琴海的强烈影响，在解释青铜时代西安纳托利亚发现的过程中一直发挥着重要作用。因此，在研究物质文化时，首先要关注当地的环境和地区的发展。不应否认来自外部的影响，但在讨论影响和外国接触时，不仅必须考虑进口产品的存在，还必须考虑当地产品的存在，这是本土传统和外国影响交织在一起的结果。在这个项目中，将审查西安纳托利亚文化的组成部分，如建筑、葬礼、小遗址和陶器，作为评估的来源。

Within the framework of the project, various aspects of West Anatolian culture from the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age until the end of the Late Bronze Age will be presented and evaluated in respect to both local developments and foreign influences. The research on West Anatolia in the 2nd Mil. BC has developed since the end of the 19th century, but this entire cultural landscape has always remained in the shadow of much better known and powerful neighbours: Hittite central Anatolia and the Minoan and Mycenaean cultural spheres. Hittite conquest known from written sources as well as the idea of colonisation or strong influence from the Aegean have always played an important role in the interpretation of Bronze Age West Anatolian finds. Therefore, in studies of material culture, it is important to give primary attention to the local contexts and regional developments. The impact from the outside should not be denied, but in the discussion of influences and foreign contacts not only the presence of imports, but also the presence of local products, which are the result of the entanglement of indigenous traditions and foreign impacts, must be considered. In this project, components of West Anatolian culture, such as architecture, funeral rites, small finds and pottery, will be examined as sources for the evaluation.
