Abstract

The paper discusses the end of the Late Bronze Age and the beginning
of the Early Iron Age in Cilicia focusing on the recently completed
excavations at Kinet Höyük.
In coordination with previous studies
by Marie-Henriette Gates, an attempt is made to deine the latest LateBronze Age phase in the 12 th
century as (Cilician) Late Bronze Age. The paper evaluates the archaeological and historical evidence of
a possible appearance of Sea Peoples in Cilicia and argues against a
substantial presence of Sea Peoples during the 12 th and 11 th century
BCE. The archaeological evidence does, however, attest phases of
close interaction between Cilicia and Cyprus during this period.
