Anatolian Civilization Following the Disintegration of the Hittite Empire: An Archaeological Appraisal

L'auteur montre quelles sont les raisons probables de la chute de l'empire Hittite, au 13eme siecle av. J.-C.. Selon lui, ce sont en premier lieu des problemes internes, economiques (telle la secheresse directement responsable des problemes de production de cereales), ou militaires (besoins defensifs a toutes les frontieres devant les poussees etrangeres) qui sont responsable de cette desintegration. Puis sont intervenues les invasions telle celle des Peuples de la Mer. A la suite de la chute de l'Empire, il semble que le gouvernement d'Hattusa ait tente de reformer une structure politique a Karkamis (Carchemish), refletant une eventuelle coexistence avec les populatons nouvellement installees.
