Description
Rodney S. Young directed excavations for the Museum at the site of Gordion on the central plateau in Anatolia (modern Turkey) in alternate years from 1950 to 1973. Traces of occupation as early as the Early Bronze Age have been identified, but Gordion flourished in the time of the historic King Midas, toward the end of the eighth century B.C. The three huge tumuli-covered wooden burial chambers detailed here contained a wealth of bronze vessels, fine wooden furniture, and pottery.

Description
Excavations on the City Mound of Gordion in 1961 and 1962 reached to levels containing remnants of Bronze Age structures. The author provides a detailed stratigraphical presentation of the pottery and small finds from these strata. Bronze Age Gordion is placed in the historical and cultural context of the Anatolian Bronze Age. Professor Machteld J. Mellink has supplied a cross-section of the Bronze Age City Mound and a brief discussion of the stratigraphy.
