The material remains and the more than 23,500 cuneiform tablets
unearthed at the site of Kultepe (ancient Kanesh) shed light on
social, political, and economic aspects of the Middle Bronze age
(ca. 2000-1700 years BC) in central Anatolia, but also in Upper
Mesopotamia. The rich textual record provides ample information on
a very sophisticated supraregional market economy, representing one
of the best-documented historical cases of long-distance trade in
the ancient world. Although the site was first excavated in 1893,
followed by intermittent excavations between 1906 and 2005, modern
scientific and interdisciplinary excavations have only been
undertaken since 2006. The new scientific research at
Kultepe-Kanesh has already begun amassing new data and providing us
with a unique opportunity to generate new perspectives and to
challenge previous models and assumptions about, for example,
trade, colonialism, ethnicity, art, religious ideas, identity, and
patterns of social, political, and economic organization in the
Near East during the Middle Bronze Age. A primary goal of this
special volume is to integrate the work of scholars in archaeology,
archaeometry, bioarchaeology, geoarchaeology, and history to
develop a new synthetic research paradigm for investigating issues
of trade, colonialism, ethnicity, art, identity, and urbanization
in the Near East in a unified fashion.
