(Bezzenberger und) Peiser, _Die bronze Figur von Schernen_ (_Sitzungsber.
der Altertumsges. Prussia_, Heft 22), where the distribution of this
class of bronze figure is thoroughly examined. Among the sites of Asia
Minor there appear Yuzgat, Angora, Amasîa, Karashehr, Iconium, and ten
unnamed places of Cappadocia. On the Syrian side, Marash and Homs and
the Lebanon region are noticeable. The distribution thus includes many
Hittite sites, but not exclusively.
