Title: | The Archaeology of Achaemenid Power in Regional Western Anatolia | Contributor(s): | Grave, Peter (author) ; Kealhofer, Lisa (author); Bilgen, Nejat (author); Marsh, Ben (author) | Publication Date: | 2016 | DOI: | 10.1017/s0959774316000457 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/19609 | Abstract: | The Achaemenids conquered Anatolia in the sixth century bce. However, in contrast to the historical descriptions of political response to Achaemenid control, e.g. the so-called 'Ionian revolt' of east Greek territories in Western Anatolia, the operation of Achaemenid-period economies in this region remains obscure. Only a handful of occupation sites in western Turkey provide archaeological data contemporary with Achaemenid rule. In this paper, we compare the results of compositional analysis on Achaemenid-period ceramics from a provincial centre, Seyitömer, with comparable analyses from similar periods at Sardis and Gordion. During the period of Achaemenid control a comparatively high level of compositional and typological diversity at this provincial centre suggests a surprising increase in regional connectivity, both locally and with East Greek and Greek centres. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Grant Details: | ARC/DP0558992 | Source of Publication: | Cambridge Archaeological Journal, 26(4), p. 697-720 | Publisher: | Cambridge University Press | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1474-0540 0959-7743 |
