Western Anatolia in the Second Millennium BCE: Recent Developments and Future Prospects (WANAT) (original) (raw)

For many years western Anatolia was one of the least known cultural landscapes in the second–millennium BCE eastern Mediterranean, overshadowed by its better-known neighbors in Hittite central Anatolian and Minoan and Mycenaean cultural spheres. Owing to the efforts of recent decades, it is becoming possible to grasp the character of western Anatolian identity, or rather identities, as well as their place(s) in the Bronze Age world. Co-organized in partnership with Charles University and Tübingen University, the WANAT 2021 Symposium brings together scholars to present and discuss recent developments in interdisciplinary research on western Anatolia, as well as to discuss how to leverage shared information better and how to bridge research gaps. The first day of the program features thematically organized topics, including textual evidence, burial rites, chronology, pottery, economy, and culture contact. The second day focuses on specific western Anatolian sites and recent fieldwork.
