| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Through the archaeological excavations at Buklukale, several finds indicate a strong relationship with the Hittite Royal Family. Additionally, philological researches have proposed the ancient name of the site as Nenassa which had associations with the Hittite Royal Family. Moreover, the destruction history of the city Nenassa elucidated from the philological researches, and the dates of the burnt layers of the site derived from the excavations are coincide. Just as Nenassa had dealings with the Hurrians and attacked the Hittites, in the same way the glass bottle found at Buklukale verifies the strong connection of the city with Hurrian culture.
These results suggest that it is very possible that the ancient name of Buklukale was Nenassa. They may even indicate that the trading system between Mesopotamia and Anatolia in the early 2nd Millennium BC extended as far as West Anatolia, and was possibly connected to the Greek culture in the Aegean region.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果は、前２千年紀前半のメソポタミアとアナトリア両地域間の交易網が西アナトリア、さらにはエーゲ海地域への拡がりを示唆する。交易網のエーゲ海地域への拡がりはメソポタミア文化のギリシャへの伝搬を裏付けるものである。さらにビュクリュカレ遺跡と古代都市ネナッサの同定は、この時代のアナトリアにおいて古代名が同定された都市は数えるほどしかない状況において極めて大きな成果といえる。さらに、従来ヒッタイト王家の居住地でのみ出土していたフリ語楔形文字粘土板文書が当遺跡で発見されたことは、従来のヒッタイトの定説を大きく塗り替える潜在的意味を持っている。
