Alışar Höyük, Archaeological site in Yozgat Province, Turkey.
The excavation site spans multiple levels, revealing continuous human settlement patterns from the Neolithic period through the Bronze Age and Phrygian times.
Between 1927 and 1932, archaeologists from the Oriental Institute of Chicago conducted systematic excavations using a grid of 10-meter squares to study the layers.
The discovery of fifty-three cuneiform tablets from the Old Assyrian period indicates the site functioned as a significant trading center in ancient Anatolia.
Artifacts uncovered from the excavations are now displayed at the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara, allowing visitors to examine the findings.
The site contains evidence of a defensive wall from the Early Bronze Age, with gates that demonstrate advanced military architecture for that period.
