Abstract

The Hittites have attracted less attention from British archaeologists than other Bronze Age states of ancient Southwest Asia, and yet in the second millennium BC they controlled most of Anatolia and at the peak of their power they even conquered Babylon. Here the Director of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara describes new research on the northwest frontier of the Hittite empire.
