Integrative Approaches to the Archaeology and History of Kultepe-Kanes. Kultepe, 4-7 August 2017: Kim 3 (Kultepe International Meetings 3)

by Fikri Kulakoglu

This third volume of the Kultepe International Meetings (KIM) series draws together multidisciplinary approaches to the archaeology and history of complex urban sites using Kultepe-Kanesh as a case study, with particular emphasis on Bronze Age material. The 3rd Kultepe International Meeting aimed at exploring multidisciplinary approaches to the archaeology and history of complex urban sites using Kultepe-Kanesh as a case study. As a result, the conference proceedings involve a wide variety of disciplines: archaeology, ceramics, paleobotany, paleoecology, palynology, archaeometallurgy, geo- and archaeo-magnetism, art history, philology, history, computer science, and last but not least, videogame design. Indeed, the aim of the Kultepe International Meetings (KIM) is to facilitate the dialogue between these different disciplines and to combine their data in order to build an accurate view of Kultepe and its environment. The 3rd KIM more than fulfilled this goal, demonstrating once again how Kultepe functions as an international experimental laboratory in which disciplines and sub-disciplines can be tested, improved, and developed. All the contributions presented here provide a good overview of the ongoing multidisciplinary studies being carried out at Kultepe and Central Anatolia.
