The contributions in this volume present recent research and analyses on Anatolian stratigraphy, chronology, archaeometry, material culture, Hittitology, archaeobotany and the extensive connections with the periphery. This commemorative publication is dedicated to Dr. Sachihiro Omura who initiated the establishment of the Japanese Institute of Anatolian Archaeology (JIAA) in May 1998 in Çağırkan, Kaman, Turkey, where to this day he continues to serve as the director. Omura started his groundbreaking excavations at Kaman-Kalehöyük in 1986, his research and excavation contribute significantly to the understanding of Central Anatolian Bronze and Iron Age chronology and stratigraphy. The volume includes a foreword by H.I.H. Princess Akiko of Mikasa.

Indigenous Culture, Migration and Integration in the Aegean Islands and Western Anatolia during the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age", co-organized by Ν. Stampolidis, C. Maner, and K. Kopanias, include a total of 39 papers. The publication is now at its final stage, the page layout is complete. The aim of the Conference was to present new archaeological finds from both sides of the Aegean.
The first part includes papers on the political geography of the local kingdoms in the West Anatolian coast during the 2nd mill. BC, through the prism of the textual evidence (J.D. Hawkins and M. Alparslan), the Mycenaean (P.A. Mountjoy) and local 'Anatolian' (P. Pavúk) pottery, as well as the geoarchaeology (R. Becks). In the second part the phenomenon of migration is discussed: throught the Hittiite and Hurrian sources (M.R. Bachvarova), the texts concerning the migration of the Phrygians/Mushki (K. Kopanias) and evidence on the migration of the Greeks to Anatolia during the Early Iron Age (C. Chabot Aslan - Pavol Hnila, Fl. Fragkopoulou and N. Mac Sweeney). In the third part of the volume finds from excavation in various sites of the Aegean and Anatolia are presented: in the SE Aegean (F.K. Seroglou – D. Sfakianakis, J. Eerbeek, S. Vitale - A. Trecarichi, A. Vlachopoulos – M. Georgiadis), Cyclades (J.W. Earle) and NE Aegean (L. Girella – P. Pavúk, L. Coluccia, L. Danile, with a linguistic approach by A. Dale), from west and south Anatolia (R. Yağcı, Elif Ünlü, B. Hürmüzlü – P. Iversen, N. Momigliano – B. Aksoy, I. Kaiser – J. Zurbach, M. Krumme, V. Şahoğlu, R. Meriç – A. Kazım Öz, S. Günel, S. Mangaloğlu-Votruba), as well as from Alalakh (K.A. Yener). In the last part of the volume a series of issues are discussed concerning trade (A. Michailidou, E. Kozal, K. Giannakos), religion and various social aspects (M. Mikrakis, R. Vaessen, M. Pieniążek, E. Gorogianni – J. Cutler – R.D. Fitzsimons, A.P. Agelarakis).
