The Dagger of Anitta

Abstract

The important inscription on the Kültepe dagger, which was found during our excavations of 1954, has recently been published by Kemal Balkan . He states that the dagger was found in the burnt d&ris of a building which might have been a palace in view of its impossing architecture . His conclusion is now supported by the evidence obtained from our investigation of the area in 1955, where the dagger or spear-head was found
