Proceedings of the Third NINO Postdoctoral Research Fellow Annual Conference, Leiden, 23rd-25th March 2023
These proceedings, from the Third NINO Postdoctoral Research Fellow Annual Conference, held in Leiden in March 2023, collect twelve contributions on a wide array of topics related to the kingdom of Kizzuwatna, a local polity in southern Anatolia during the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1600-1200 BCE). The volume brings together multiple disciplinary perspectives, including archaeology, material culture studies, philology, and historical linguistics. Following a historical introduction to the kingdom of Kizzuwatna (Section I), the contributions are organized into four thematic sections: Archaeology and Geography (II), Texts, Philology, and Language (III), Religion, Rituals, and Culture (IV), and Kingship and Ideology (V). The aim of the volume is to offer an updated view of the kingdom of Kizzuwatna, reflecting recent research developments, discoveries, and interpretations from a range of scholarly perspectives.
