Abstract and Keywords
This article presents an overview of Troy's place in the larger Aegean/Anatolian world, highlighting the continued important role this settlement played over three millennia. From the point of view of archaeology, Hisarlık–Troy ranks high among important sites of the Anatolian and Aegean Bronze Age. Both its Early and Late Bronze Age architecture, the treasures as well as ceramics and other finds reflecting long-distance contacts, the size of the site, its layout comprising a fortified stronghold surrounded by a larger, outlying settlement, and its strategic position clearly show that Troy served as the center of the surrounding region.
Keywords: Hisarlık–Troy, archaeological sites, Aegean, Bronze Age
Peter Jablonka is an Archaeologist at the Institute of Prehistory and Archaeology, Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, and Co-Director of the Troy Excavations.
