The Anatolian Hieroglyphic script is a mixed writing system which contains both phonetic and semantographic signs. The latter may be used in the function of logogram and/or determinative. A dedicated study of the script’s determinatives has so far not been undertaken but promises insight into structures of mental organization and script development. Because of its pictorial character, individual signs can occasionally be shown to act in a dual capacity, as icons and signs of writing. This article forms part one of a diachronic study of the determinative system, and adresses the period 13

Summary: The present article contains observations on the invasion of Lycia by the Hittite king Tudhaliya IV as described in the Yalburt inscription. The author questions the commonly found identification of the land of VITIS/Wiyanwanda with the city of Oinoanda on account of the problems raised by the reading of the sign VITIS as well as of archaeological and strategical observations. With the aid of Lycian and Greek inscriptions the author argues that the original Wiyanawanda/Oinoanda was located further south than the city commonly known as Oinoanda situated above İncealiler. These insights lead to a reassessment of the Hittite-Luwian sources concerning the conquest of Lycia.Keywords: Lycia, Lykien, Lukka, Hethiter, Luwier, politische Geographie, griechische Epigraphik, lykische Epigraphik IntroductionEver since the beginning of research in Hittite political geography, two methodological approaches have basically been used. The first is mainly to collect toponyms known from Greek, Roman, Byzantine or even later sources and to identify them with Hittite places. This approach has been applied by Garstang, Forrer and others in their early works on Hittite geography. 1 This method has produced convincing results in the Levant and parts of Mesopotamia, but in Asia Minor the results of scholars were differing and often lacked convincing  Max Gander: Historisches Seminar der Universität Zürich, Fachbereich Alte Geschichte, Karl Schmid-Str. 4, CH-8006 Zürich, E-Mail: max.r.gander@gmail.com  1 Hrozný (1919); Forrer (1926). For the problematics of this approach even for classical sites, s. Robert -Robert (1977). power.2 The heavy criticism of Smith 3 against Forrer, Hrozný, Mayer and Garstang at first did not find support in the scholarly community. 4 The belief that cumulative evidence of several toponyms in the same region was enough was deep-rooted and widespread. 5 This method however lost much of its credibility when Goetze in 1940 showed that Kizzuwatna did not, as assumed by Hrozný, Garstang, Forrer and others, lie in the Pontos area but rather covered most of classical Plain Cilicia, 6 and therefore, all the respective equations given by these scholars were obviously wrong.Goetze, in his own work, tried much more to understand Hittite geography from within. He examined the relations between different cities and countries, and tried to come to a relative geography. 7The possibilities and the disadvantages of both the approaches are evident. The thorough investigation in the primary sources, taking into account the texts, the monuments and the location of roads and settlements is the starting point of any study devoted to Hittite political geography. However, since there are very few fixed points in Hittite geography, this kind of approach alone can only provide glimpses of a relative geography which do not allow for a clear identification of new sites.On the other hand, the disadvantages of the name equations that may produce whole series of wrong identifications has been mentioned above.

The inscriptions of the Aleppo temple

The location of the Temple of the Storm-God of Aleppo, one of the most famous cult-centres of antiquity, has long been a matter of speculation, but was finally revealed by excavations on Aleppo citadel begun in 1996. These have gradually uncovered the central cult-room of the temple with a rich inventory of sculptures datable to several phases of the construction. In 2003 came the dramatic exposure of a substantial Hieroglyphic Luwian inscription recording a dedication to the Storm-God by a ruler, Taita King of Palistin, incised alongside his own image standing in an attitude of reverence before the deity. This was followed in 2004–2005 by the discovery of a further, but broken, inscription on portal figures of the entrance, attributable to the same ruler. These inscriptions are datable by their palaeography approximately to the 11th century BC, a period previously regarded as a dark age lacking written records. They suggest the existence of a large and powerful kingdom in an area where the increasingly known archaeology shows an influx of people of Aegean connections bringing with them the distinctive Mycenaean IIIC pottery. A combination of the archaeological data and the evidence of the inscriptions begins to offer an outline history for this little-known age. This paper presents the first full publication of the inscriptions together with some comments on their background and implications.
