Into the Hinterland: The Middle Bronze Age Building at Toprakhisar Höyük, Altınözü (Hatay, Turkey)

Abstract

The recent salvage excavations conducted by the Hatay Archaeological Museum at Toprakhisar Höyük Altınözü in the highlands sorrounding the Amuq Valley on its southwestern side have revealed architectural data regarding re-urbanization patterns in the Middle Bronze Age 2000-1600 BC, MBA hereafter . This archaeological data is discussed under the larger theme of materiality, function, and conscious symbolism in the use of space. It is argued that rural sites likewise contained administrative complexes with stylistic attributes similar to well-known and larger palaces from the urban centers of the region.
