Possible Bronze Age Sites of Anatolia

These sites are mentioned in Hittite tablets but their specific locations have not yet been confirmed. Many have been identified with Classical sites, but these are not certain, even when the location of the Classical settlement is known. In some cases, the link with the Classical site is tenuous: based on philological and/or geographical similarities rather archaeological or textual evidence.

Where modern locations are given, these may be where sites have been confirmed or simply where they are believed to be, often by way of the siting of their Classical counterparts.

Note I use the term ‘city’ for any settlement of appreciable size.
