Document Details : Title: Silver for Assur Subtitle: Kanesh, Acemhöyük and Metal Wealth in the Taurus Highlands Author(s): YENER, K. Aslihan Journal: Anatolica Volume: 41 Date: 2015 Pages: 1-7 DOI: 10.2143/ANA.41.0.3127285 Abstract : The location of the mines that supplied silver, which Old Assyrian merchants shipped to Assur in large quantities, remains unclear. Recent lead isotope analyses of artefacts found at Acemhöyük, Qalat Shergat (ancient Assur) and Kültepe (ancient Kanesh) suggest that these objects originated from the Taurus Mountains. |
