Klappentext This book argues that the history and archaeology of the site of Gordion in central Turkey have been misunderstood since the beginning of the excavations in the 1950s. It demonstrates that Gordion was not destroyed ca. 700 B.C. by an invasion but rather 100 years earlier, in 800 B.C., by a fire. Zusammenfassung Challenging the traditional understanding of Gordion's history, proposing a shift in the dating of a significant destruction event from 700 B.C. to 800 B.C. Multidisciplinary research, combining dendrochronology, radiocarbon dating, and textual and artifact analysis, supports this revised chronology.
