average size of polity within zone needed Determining the geographic frontiers of Central Anatolia is also problematic. The frontiers are not only linked to climate and topography, but also to the location of sites. Pontic Mountains can be considered the South border, and similarly, the Taurus Mountains were in the South frontier. The Eastern boundary is the easiest to define: it is a straight line between modern Malatya and Trabzon. Western border is formed by crucial sites like Beycesultan, Demircihöyük, Karataş-Semayük . During Early Bronze Age, some Indo-European nations arrived on this land - this happened around 2300 BCE. Most of the Early Bronze Age II sites in Anatolia saw massive and violent destruction and these disasters brought an end to the EB II period. |

As the Zapotec state was in a process of fragmentation into smaller polities, the actual extent of any polity in the Valley of Oaxaca is very difficult to determine for this period. [Flannery_Marcus 1996] "Table 10.1. Population of Late Postclassic polities in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca" + "Table 10.2. Population of other Late Postclassic polities in highland Oaxaca." = ~ 61 polities. [Feinman_Nicholas 2013, pp. 158-159] Polity territory = total area / 61? | |
