The best attested Ammamma served as the tutelary goddess of Taḫurpa [de] near Hattusa, and appears in multiple treaties between Hittite kings and foreign rulers.
[2] According to Piotr Taracha [de], the theonym Ammamma and its variants might have originated as a Hattic term referring to an entire category of goddesses associated with individual locations in the proximity of Hattusa and in the north of the Hittite Empire.
[11] As the tutelary goddess of Taḫurpa Ammamma appears in standardized lists of deities invoked as witnesses in Hittite treaties alongside a number of other city goddesses (Abara of Šamuḫa, Ḫantitaššu of Ḫurma, the divine "queens" of Ankuwa and Katapa, Ḫallara of Dunna, Ḫuwaššanna of Ḫubešna, Tapišuwa of Išḫupitta, Kuniyawanni of Landa and NIN.ŠEN.ŠEN of Kinza).
[1] A temple dedicated to her existed in the last of these three locations,[21] and it is presumed the well attested priestesses referred to with the sumerogram MUNUS.MEŠAMA.DINGIRLIM (literally "mother of the deity") were involved in her cult.
[22] A poorly preserved ritual text dealing with a festival celebrated in Zalpa, KUB 59.17 + Bo 3990, might recollect a mythological narrative about the local Ammamma and her three daughters, all bearing the same name.
