Abstract

Recent excavations and surveys in the Central Black Sea Region expanded our knowledge on this, one of the le­ast researched regions of Anatolian Archaeology. Especially the excavations continuing since 2007 in Oluz Hoyuk, which is situated in Amasya and one of the largest mounds of the said region, proved the uninterrupted inhabitation from Late Chalcolithic to the Persian Period in the region. 7 th and 8 th architectural layers of Oluz Hoyuk dated to the Hittite Kingdom Period. Although the Hittite Period remains are not fully recovered yet, stone seals, a bronze sickle, fragment of a baked-clay loom weight and pottery fragments points out that Oluz Hoyuk was an important Hittite settlement.
