As a Hittitologist, Professor Gary Beckman also wrote an article on Hittite Chronology in Akkadica 119-120 while he served as an editor of the 2003 book Hittite Studies in Honor of Harry A.

He observed that cultural and administrative changes did not typically happen until approximately two generations had passed from the overthrow of the previous ruling regime.
