Arslantepe became an important center in the Late Chalcolithic period. With the decline of the Hittite empire, the site became the center of an independent Luwian Neo-Hittite state (Kammanu). The state became a tributary of the Assyrian empire under Tiglath-Pileser I (1115-1077 BC) and it was sacked by Sargon II in 712 BC.
