The ancient site of Colossae in south-west Turkey has been sorely
neglected by archaeologists and biblical commentators. It has never
been excavated. Modern scholarship in general has been content to
repeat nineteenth century assessments, especially those of J.B.
Lightfoot and W.M. Ramsay. This is the first modern contribution to
gather the archaeological, historical, classical and biblical
materials related to the site and its region, some of which is
published in English for the first time. It marks a major step
forward in scholarship on Colossae, and is designed to restore
Colossae to time and space, to its material and comparative
significance. Colossae emerges as a site of uninterrupted human
activity in dynamic interaction with its neighbours from before the
Achaemenid period to beyond the end of Byzantine control. Evidence
of a chalcolithic origin of Colossae is presented along with an
assessment of the relationship of the site to the modern city of
Honaz. An array of international scholars have brought their
specialisations in various periods and disciplines to yield a
radically new assessment of the history and importance of the site.
All future scholarship will be able to use this volume as the
necessary foundation for research. The volume includes the first
chronology of the ancient site and the first English translation of
the key Byzantine text centred on the ancient city, as well as
major new insights into the text of the Epistle to the Colossians.
