Abstract :
This article proposes the use of Geographical Information Systems combined with an examination of Hittite texts and an iconographical analysis in order to build a new method for discovering the function of Hittite rock reliefs in the mountainous regions of Turkey. Hittite rock reliefs can be found in the open rock faces and they are often accompanied by a Luwian hieroglyphic inscription.
