ABSTRACT
Following the collapse of the Late Bronze Age civilizations, a number of new cities and kingdoms emerged throughout Anatolia. Most notable among these was the kingdom of Urartu in the east and the kingdoms of Phrygia and Lydia in the west. Also, from late M2 onwards, the Anatolian coastal regions and their hinterlands were settled by numerous Greek peoples, immigrants for the most part from the Greek mainland or Aegean islands. e pages that follow contain more details of these new peoples and kingdoms. We have already dealt with the contemporary Neo-Hittite kingdoms that emerged in Tabal in the south-eastern sector of the Anatolian peninsula, and the kingdoms of Hilakku and Que along the coast.
