Uşaklı Höyük

Uşaklı Höyük consists of a high mound with a 10-hectare terrace and a 2-hectare central elevation along the Egri Öz river.

The settlement maintained continuous habitation from the third millennium BCE through the Bronze Ages, Iron Age, and into the late Roman period.

Archaeological excavations have uncovered a monumental Hittite temple, palace structures, and numerous artifacts that reveal ancient religious and administrative practices.

The archaeological site lies approximately 40 kilometers from the ancient Hittite capital Hattuša, accessible through the modern road connecting Yozgat and Sivas.

During 2018 excavations, researchers discovered the oldest known mosaic stone floor, composed of 3,147 stones arranged in a geometric pattern.
