of Anthropogenic Relations with the
Natural Environment during the Second
Millennium BC in Central Anatolia, in: HHE 159-202. [Ch. 4; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110661781-005. Abstract: "The geography of northern Central Anatolia, the heartland of the Hittite
Empire, is characterized by a great heterogeneity of topography, geology and climate.
This leads to a correspondingly large diversity of anthropogenic lifestyles
and economical strategies adapted to the particular regional conditions. In this
chapter, this diversification is presented as the background of cultural development
and its manifestations. Based on evidence from Boğazköy and Kuşaklı, it
shows how Hittite society dealt with the obstacles of the natural habitat and argues
for a stronger consideration of Hittite culture against the background of
these regional patterns".] Neue Abfrage | New Search
