Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the Hittite period from about 1000 to 700 BCE when independent Hittite city-states flourished in south-east Anatolia and north Syria. The art of the period is characterized by a continuity of traditions of the Hittite Empire seen particularly in the use of the Hittite hieroglyphic script for monumental stone inscriptions.
