Notes on Chronology in the Phrygian Highlands: Cultic Installations, Defenses, and Clamp Cuttings

This paper is concerned with the relative dating of the Middle Iron Age (ca. 10th–6th centuries bc) defenses, so-called step monuments, and other features in the Highlands of Phrygia, principally the upland region on the southeastern side of the Türkmen Dağ, roughly within the triangle formed by the modern cities of Eskişehir, Afyon, and Kütahya.1 Sparse evidence for relative dating, centered on observed relationships between built defenses and stepped monuments, and the occurrence of dove-tailed clamp cuttings, is described and discussed in what follows. I will then attempt to place these developments within a wider Central Anatolian setting.
