3 The use in Chapter x of the terminology Hittite and pre-Hittite is sometimes confusing, for while buildings in XI-VIII are described as pre-Hittite (p. 211) , an axe allocated to IX is rightly described as Hittite. Presumably therefore pre-Hittite refers to the period of the Old Kingdom when Mersin albeit in contact with the Hittites was still independent of them.
