Summary
Chapter 4 examines the most significant and unsettled of Hittite borderlands, the region just to the north and east of the capital city and its hinterlands, where communities called Kaska in Hittite sources engaged over centuries in varyingly hostile as well as cooperative relationships with northern settlements more closely under Hittite state control and with military and administrative agents of empire.
