The ancient Anatolian city of Kanesh (present-day Kultepe, Turkey)
was a continuously inhabited site from the early Bronze Age through
Roman times. The city flourished c.2000-1750 BCE as an Old Assyrian
trade outpost and the earliest attested commercial society in world
history. More than 23,000 elaborate clay tablets from private
merchant houses provide a detailed description of a system of
long-distance trade that reached from central Asia to the Black Sea
region and the Aegean. The texts record common activities such as
trade between Kanesh and the city state of Assur, and between
Assyrian merchants and local people. The tablets tell us about the
economy as well as the culture, language, religion, and private
lives of individuals we can identify by name, occupation, and
sometimes even personality. This book presents an in-depth account
of this vibrant Bronze Age Anatolian society, revealing the daily
lives of its inhabitants.
