| Summary: | In this article we examine the cultural relationships of one of Iron Age Anatolia’s most understudied areas, the south-central plateau. Although the Iron Age of this region has been historically neglected, recent years have seen enough new evidence to warrant a fresh study of some well-known monuments, and to interpret their cultural affiliations considering new data, including the redating of Gordion’s Destruction Level and the discovery of TÜRKMEN-KARAHÖYÜK 1. We argue that, although many parts of the picture are still missing, there is increasing evidence that south-central Anatolia, and especially the Konya Plain, was a major venue for interregional connections. This evidence can be seen both in landscape monuments and in the archaeology of a small number of settlements. |
