James Osborne | The Syro-Anatolian City States: A Neglected Iron Age Culture
Presented by James Osborne, Assistant Professor of Anatolian Archaeology, Oriental Institute. The Syro-Anatolian City States: A Neglected Iron Age Culture The Iron Age kingdoms of the Syro-Anatolian culture were among the Near East's wealthiest and most important of the time. Yet today they are mostly ignored by all but specialists, overshadowed in the modern imagination by their contemporaries, the Neo-Assyrian Empire and biblical Israel. This lecture presents the many artistic and architectural accomplishments of this remarkable culture, claiming their place alongside the ancient Near East's most famous societies.
