Abstract
At the end of the Early Bronze Age (2500-2000 BC) and the Middle Bronze Age (2000-1800 BC) not only in Western Anatolia but also throughout the Anatolia cultural and political mobility begins to develop. We have knowledge about the developments at the end of the Early Bronze Age of writings, yet unknown from the later date Hittite texts. Out of this fact, there are some suggestions that scholars put forward about the social and political structure of period at issue. We know the city states ruled by local kingdoms heading cities to get rich in the beginning of the 2nd Millennium BC namely Middle Bronze Age. The city of Nesha (Kanesh), among these, in the Central Anatolia will lead to establishment of the Hittite Kingdom in the later period. Southwestern Anatolia Region included the important and powerful city such as Beycesultan was the key region experiencing of cultural and political mobility at the end of the 3rd Millennium BC and in the beginning of the 2nd Millennium BC. In this study, it will be tried to deal with the presence of city states and the identity of people living in the Southwestern Anatolia at that period.
