Kültepe, Archaeological tell in Kayseri Province, Turkey
The ancient settlement of Kültepe encompasses a central mound and a lower city area containing administrative buildings and residential structures.
During the Bronze Age, Kültepe functioned as a commercial center where Assyrian merchants established trading networks across Anatolia and Mesopotamia.
The discovery of 23,500 cuneiform tablets at Kültepe provides extensive documentation of daily life, commerce, and social structures in ancient Anatolia.
The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours through excavated areas displaying ancient architectural remains.
Multiple fires throughout history inadvertently preserved numerous clay tablets and artifacts by baking them, creating an invaluable archaeological record.
