	HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
		Pteria is the strongest part of all that country and lies in a line with the city of Sinope, on the Euxine Sea.
		The historical background to the Battle of Pteria begins with the Median attack on the Neo-Assyrian city of Nimrud in 614 BC, their subsequent alliance with the Babylonians and sack of Nineveh to the combined forces two years later.
		After the inconclusive Battle of Pteria between Croesus and Cyrus, Croesus retreated to Sardis for the winter from where he summoned his allies in the natural expectation that Cyrus too would withdraw for the winter and that the confrontation would be renewed in the following spring.

		The decline of Hatti power began with the expansion of Assyria after Itoo B.C. and Cappadocia seems to have been inferior to Phrygia after the rise of the Midaean dynasty in the 9th and 8th centuries.
		It should be added that the identification of Boghaz Keui with the Pteria of Heroditus has not yet been confirmed, and the latter name has been claimed for a primitive site at Ak-alan near Samsun by Th.

	PTERIA - LoveToKnow Article on PTERIA
		This is the chief Hittite site in Asia Minor, far superior in extent to either Euyuk or Giaur Kalesi, which seem to have been its dependencies, and a centre from which roads, marked by the occurrence of Hittite monuments, radiate towards Syria and the Aegean.
		Sir W. Ramsay has shown with great probability that it was the importance of Pteria and its bridge over the Halys which diverted the Persian royal road far to the north of its natural line.
		It should be added that the identification of Boghaz Keui with the Pteria of Heroditus has not yet been confirmed, and the latter name has been claimed for a primitive site at Ak-alan near Samsun by Tb.

	Pteria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pteria was the capital of the White Syrians in northern Cappadocia.
		They were said by Herodotus to have been taken and ruined by Croesus in 547 BC.
		Although some have identified Pteria with Hattusa, this is uncertain; Herodotus mentions Pteria as near Sinop on the Black Sea, which is not at all close to Hattusa.

	Trigem Designs: Cortez Pearls
		Cortez Pearls™ are rare saltwater cultured pearls from the rainbow-lipped Pteria sterna oyster, native to Mexico's Sea of Cortez.

		Pteria oysters are often used to produce mabe, or half-round pearls.

	Archaeologists split hairs over first arrivals
		Beneath a 2,600-year-old shroud of soil everything is exactly as it was left when the inhabitants of Pteria were reputedly marched off into slavery.
		It was evidence of a great fire that convinced Mr Summers that he had found Pteria, the western capital of the Medes, who emerged from Ancient Persia in the sixth century BC to occupy what is now Eastern Anatolia.
		Although there are a few references to the Medes in later Greek and Assyrian records, there is little contemporary evidence of their existence, although the Kurds are widely thought to be their modern descendants.

		The concha nacar pearl oyster (Pteria sterna) is native to the area and was cultivated briefly at the turn of the century, but the wild population is now nearly gone due to 400 years of harvesting.
		But a linear regression relating water temperature and oyster growth showed a positive correlation between water temperature and growth of oysters raised in canastas, suggesting that oysters grown in canastas may be more sensitive to changes in water temperature.
		The pearl oysters Pteria sterna and Pinctada mazatlanica are distributed in the Pacific from Baja California to Peru (Brusca 1980).

	Turkey Expedition, Kerkenes Archaeological Project, June - July 2002
		Geoffrey said to me "Although there is no evidence to prove it yet, I will continue to defend my identification of Kerkenes as Pteria.") And, in 2003, this theory was disproved, once and for all.
		According to Herodotus, the Pterians were enslaved by Croesus, King of Lydia, before the Battle of Pteria, fought between Cyrus the Great of Persia and the Lydians, in about 547.
		Later occupation was restricted to the Kale (citadel mound) and the Kiremitlik.
