ANATOLIAN CIVILIZATIONS:10x19 antik kentler 8/1/11 10:50 AM Sayfa 72 that this king paid taxes again to the Assyrians later on, suggests that he must have been defeated in that expedition. Later on, when Malatya was taken by the Assyrians, rather than appointing an Assyrian governor, the place was given to the Kummuh’s King Mutallu. However, in 708 BC, using treason of this king as an excuse, his land was turned into an Assyrian province. It is known that around this period, the Principality of Hattina existed near Antakya, on the Amik Plane including the cities Tell-Aççana, Tel Tainat, Tell-el-Cüdeyde. During the excavations in the tumuli in this region, ancient cultures as well as the Late Hittite Period were encountered and studies were carried out. Assyrian armies had to pay tribute to the Hattina King Labarna in 876 BC during the period of Asurnasirpal. Later in 858 BC, Salmanassar III took a portion of the territories of Hattina. After that, we see the king of Hattina named Qalparunda as paying taxes to the Assyrians. In the later stages, there was turmoil in Hattina, Labarna II was dethroned and Sasi, who was pro-Assyrian, was brought to power. After that the region came to be influenced by the Aramis. However, later, the Assyrians ravaged the region and attached it to their territories. A column pedestal with two lions at the entry of a temple dating back to 7 th century BC, found in the tumulus of Tell-Aççana, is important in that it reflects the characteristics of this period. Lion column bases in the Assyrianized Hittite style found near this, in Tell-Tainat, and dating back to the 8 th century BC are in Antakya Museum. Marafl, where the Kingdom of Gurgum was, poses importance in that it provides rich sculpture products despite not having been excavated. Orthmann has detected four groups of style in the embossments in Marafl. These groups are mostly seen in the grave stele. The fact that there are epitaphs in most of these has a separate importance. It is seen that the epitaphic sculpture of Halparuntias II dating back to 850 BC very much resembles Carchemish and Zincirli sculptures. From the epitaph on the Marafl lion from the 8 th century BC which is of Halparuntias III (whom we know to have been the king around 782 BC), we can learn the names of the previous kings of Marafl. Also, from the epitaphic sculpture of Panammu II dating back to 730 BC, we can draw important insights into the sculpture of the period. Apart from these, steles with scenes depicting meals for the dead are striking. It is not possible to come across this elsewhere. The embossments of the grave
