Summary The 3rd K ltepe International Meeting aimed at exploring multidisciplinary approaches to the archaeology and history of complex urban sites using K ltepe-Kanesh as a case study. As a result, the conference proceedings involve a wide variety of disciplines: archaeology, ceramics, paleobotany, paleoecology, palynology, archaeometallurgy, geo- and archaeo-magnetism, art history, philology, history, computer science, and last but not least, videogame design. Indeed, the aim of the K ltepe International Meetings (KIM) is to facilitate the dialogue between these different disciplines and to combine their data in order to build an accurate view of K ltepe and its environment. The 3rd KIM more than fulfilled this goal, demonstrating once again how K ltepe functions as an international experimental laboratory in which disciplines and sub-disciplines can be tested, improved, and developed. All the contributions presented here provide a good overview of the ongoing multidisciplinary studies being carried out at K ltepe and Central Anatolia.
