The Luwians inhabited Anatolia and Syria in late second through
early first millennium BC. They are mainly known through their
Indo-European language, preserved on cuneiform tablets and
hieroglyphic stelae. However, where the Luwians lived or came from,
how they coexisted with their Hittite and Greek neighbors, and the
peculiarities of their religion and material culture, are all
debatable matters. A conference convened in Reading in June 2011 in
order to discuss the current state of the debate, summarize points
of disagreement, and outline ways of addressing them in future
research. The papers presented at this conference were collected in
the present volume, whose goal is to bring into being a new
interdisciplinary field, Luwian Studies. "To conclude, the editors
of this volume on Luwian identities and the authors of the
individual papers are to be congratulatedwith a successful sequel
to TheLuwians of 2003 edited by Melchert and with yet another
substantial brick in the foundation of the incipient discipline of
Luwian studies." Fred C. Woudhuizen
