Recent excavations at Gordion have revealed below the destroyed Phrygian city (ca. 700 B. C.) an early Iron Age settlement with handmade coarse ware, which is followed by a settlement that contains the earliest Phrygian pottery forms. The handmade ware relates to that from Troy and the Balkans and is considered firm evidence of the historically recorded migration of the Brygians into Anatolia. A suggested chronology for the two early settlements is posited, based primarily on information from Troy. This chronology is then examined together with the information derived from preserved ancient traditions. A hypothesis is generated regarding the chronology of the establishment of kingship in Phrygia. This event is posited to have occurred in the late ninth century B. C., and the historical King Midas is considered to have been the fourth Phrygian king to reign
