“…A new temple district was also constructed at Tell Tweini between the 10th and mid-9th century BCE, including what is interpreted as an in antis temple structure along with a walled, cobblestone-paved courtyard and plastered ashlar platform with a carved hole suggestive of drainage for libations or sacrifices. The excavators interpret the sacred space as Phoenician based on architectural and material comparanda at Sarepta and Enkomi, though perhaps these connections would more precisely imply a Cypro-Phoenician cultural context; in any case, it is unclear to which deity or cult the space may have been dedicated (Bretschneider et al 2000: 87-96;al-Maqdissi et al 2007: 62-63;Bretschneider et al 2008). During the 9th-8th century BCE, an Assyrian open-air sanctuary was created at Karabur, located about 25 km south of Antakya, thus not far from the Amuq Plain.…”

This volume originates from a research project, which was funded within the PRIN program Writing Uses: Transmission of Knowledge, Administrative Practices and Political Control in Anatolian and Syro-Anatolian Polities in the 2nd and 1st Millennium BCE. The project involved ‘research units’ from different Italian universities (Torino, Pavia, Bologna, Firenze, Napoli - Suor Orsola Benincasa). The papers presented here, seek to fill some gaps in our knowledge of the Hittite Empire and its epigones, and offer an updated picture of some aspects of the Hittite and post-Hittite administration in Anatolia and Syria through the analysis and interpretation of epigraphic and archaeological evidence.

The cooking pot ? la steatite first appears at sites along the Syrian coast in the 12th century. Until recently, these cooking pots were considered an essentially Iron I coastal phenomenon with a few isolated appearances inland. New research indicates that these cooking pots can actually be tracked throughout Iron I and II as they penetrated inland Syria by way of the Orontes River, ultimately to become one of the dominant cooking pot forms of the later Iron Age. Both technological and stylistic elements of even the earliest variants show a strong relationship with Cypriot cooking wares; moreover, its distribution is largely consis tent with the distribution of locally produced Mycenaean style pottery in Syria. This study explores the Aegean re lationships of the cooking pot ? la steatite and addresses the question of the Sea Peoples and Cypriot immigrants in Iron Age Syria.*
