Özet:

 


There is an
uncertainty about the naming or presence of summer season in Hittite cuneiform
texts. However, some scholars claimed that certain agricultural activities in
summer written as BURU14 in Hittite cuneiform texts indicate the
summer period. The purpose of this article is to support this argument by
explaining the sequence of the months in the Hittite calendar and to make
determinations about the start and end dates of the summer season. It is also
to draw attention to the similarities between the terminology used for the
summer in traditional calendars in Anatolia and the words used for the summer
period in the Hittite cuneiform texts. The period called harvest time in
Anatolian traditional calendars may be referred to by a similar name in the
Hittite calendar and it may indicate the beginning and end dates of the summer
season.
