Beyceğiz Tumulus: A Middle Phrygian Cenotaph near Gordion
The Art of Empire in Achaemenid Persia: Studies in Honour of Margaret Cool Root
A Mid-6th-Century b.c.e. Deposit from Gordion in Central Anatolia: Evidence for Feasting and the Persian Destruction
A coherent deposit of dumped debris, excavated at Gordion in 1950 and the 1990s, was apparently formed during the cleanup following the Achaemenid Persian attack on the city, ca. 540 b.c.e. It offers a first glimpse of life at Gordion during the mid-6th century (end of the Middle Phrygian period, Yassıhöyük Stratigraphic Sequence 5A). Greek imports provide a relatively firm date for the deposit and allow a chronologically specific snapshot of loc…
The collapse of empire at Gordion in the transition from the Achaemenid to the Hellenistic world
Gordion, ancient capital of Phrygia, was a large and thriving city of secondary importance during the period of the Achaemenid Persian Empire (ca 550–333 BC). Recent work makes possible a reconsideration of the site: evaluating its architecture, finds and use of landscape within and after the socio-economic and administrative context of the Achaemenid imperial system enables the following new overview. During the Achaemenid period, Gordion’s popu…
Archaeology and Conservation of the Middle Phrygian Gate Complex at Gordion, Turkey
In 2016, a project was undertaken at Gordion, Turkey, to stabilize and conserve the remains of a rubble platform built early in the Middle Phrygian period (ca. 800–700 b.c.e.) under the vast Gate Complex leading to the megarons on the Citadel Mound. In the process, aspects of Middle Phrygian building strategies came to light that enhanced our understanding gained from the original excavation in the 1950s. This article outlines the archaeology of …
Administration, Interaction, and Identity in Lydia before the Persian Empire: A New Seal from Sardis
A stamp seal excavated at Sardis in 2011 is a local product dating to the period of the Lydian Kingdom. It was found in a churned-up deposit along with artifacts dating before the mid-6th century B.C.E., including a large proportion of high-status items: the seal itself and an ivory furniture inlay showing a female figure holding a lion upside down, as well as fine pottery, bronze arrowheads, a few scattered human bones, and other items. The depo…

Satrapal Sardis: Achaemenid Bowls in an Achaemenid Capital
Sardis, capital of Lydia and seat of the Mermnad dynasty, was made a regional capital of the Achaemenid Persian empire after Lydia was conquered by the expanding empire. Guided by Herodotos, most people have thought that the Lydian era was the period of greatest interest in the history of Sardis. New finds now make it possible to reassess the city's history during the two centuries when it served as a satrapal capital for the Achaemenid empire. T…
