![James Osborne | Great King Hartapu and Beyond: Türkmen-Karahöyük and an Iron Age Ruler
Join us for a lecture by James Osborne, Associate Professor of Anatolian Archaeology & curator of the ISAC Museum special exhibition Hartapu: The Forgotten King of Anatolia [https://isac.uchicago.edu/king-hartapu].
Great King Hartapu has long been one of ancient Anatolias most enigmatic rulers: known since the early 20th century from isolated landscape monuments and nothing else, this king has been difficult to place in time and space. That changed dramatically in 2019 with the discovery of a new inscription by Hartapu at the site of Türkmen-Karahöyük, a text that describes Hartapus conquest of Phrygia, the greatest power of Iron Age Anatolia, and 13 other local kingdoms. In part thanks to that discovery, ISAC and Bilkent University launched the Türkmen-Karahöyük Archaeological Project (TKAP) in 2024.
This lecture, presented in connection with the ISAC Museum special exhibition Hartapu: The Forgotten King of Anatolia (September 17, 2026–March 14 2027), presents the exciting findings of the first three seasons of TKAP, concentrating especially on what weve learned about the Iron Age and preceding Late Bronze Age periods, and the light they shed on the cultural background of Hartapus kingdom.
Registration is for in-person and online attendance (a link to the live stream will be emailed the day of the event as well as posted on ISAC’s social media platforms). Register here: https://isac-lecture-hartapu.eventbrite.com
The lecture will be followed by an opportunity to view the special exhibition and a light reception. James Osborne | Great King Hartapu and Beyond: Türkmen-Karahöyük and an Iron Age Ruler](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/M2wljL07DQM/mqdefault.jpg)
