During the Late Bronze Age ca. 1600- 1300 BC , it was the capital city of the regional kingdom of Mukiš and with its strategic location and political significance, it served as a vassal to kingdoms of Yamhad, Mitanni and Hittites successively. Tell Atchana is one of the limited number of the sites that revealed both textual and material evidence regarding the understanding of the enigmatic nature of Mitanni Empire. This research in that perspective evaluates the Mitanni political and social framework through the levels and the material culture excavated at the site.}, number={17}, publisher={Türk Eskiçağ Bilimleri Enstitüsü}
