Özet:

In 1987 I completed my doctorate at Bryn Mawr College with the submission of a dissertation which analyzed anew the ceramic and architectural remains uncovered in the 1930’s excavations conducted at Tarsus Turkey by Miss Hetty Goldman for Bryn Mawr College The results of those researches are presented here in abbreviated form; the chart at the end of this article summarizes without notes the conclusions about dates reached by this new analysis For full citations of parallels consult the original work from Bryn Mawr College And so the following information and analysis is offered The chronology of Gurney which I followed for the Hittite kings may no longer be accepted by all scholars but it is the more conservative choice for the non expert Anyone who does not agree with Gurney’s dates may instead read the concluding time chart by king I also realize that my bibliography reflects work done only through 1987; again I do not see that this is a general indictment of my work More excavation has certainly been done since then but no major changes of chronology have resulted Key Words: Tarsus Gözlükule Middle Bronze Age Late Bronze Age Pottery Architectural
