Screen LibraryThe new chronology of iron age Gordion /
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.
