Jewelery in Anatolia in Assyrian Trade Colonies Era and Hittites Period
Abstract
In this study, we tried to present jewelery of the period by evaluating archeological data and written sources together. Assyrian merchants came to Anatolia in the first quarter of 2 thousand B.C. and established a systematic trade colony. Many ornaments showing the jewelery fashion of that period were found in Kültepe that was the center of this trade network. These findings enable us to evaluate Hittites jewellery whose number is few. Thus, Hittites art is a synthesis created by the integration of tribes who lived before themselves in Anatolia and contemporary and neighbor cultures in 2 thousand year in the Anatolia pot. Mines such as gold, silver, iron and bronze and precious and semi-precious materials such as lapislazuli, quartz, faience and frit were used in the jewelery. Findings in form of brooch, hair rings and dead plates were found as well as jewelery such as ring, earring, necklace and bracelet in excavations.
