Abstract

Oluz Hoyuk had made us distinguish some evidence regarding Anatolian Iron Age archaeology and ancient history that we haven’t noticed until today. With detection of Achaemenid (Persian) elements on 2B and 2A Architectural Layers (425-200 BC) which were alien to the local Anatolian culture, a change of excavation strategy had become necessary. As a result of this changes, the evidence uncovered on the work intensified in 2B and 2A Architectural Layers had proved that the Achaemenid culture that characterized the Oluz Hoyuk Late Iron Age had serious impact on the Anatolian historical process on the basis of religion, military and archaeo-ethnicity. Due to the various ritual ceremony in ancient Persia and the continuation of these celebrations, it is now helpful to review and compare them with each other to clarify some issues. One of the materials used in the Zoroastrianism ritual ceremony is Haoma. In this article, the study of the use of Haoma is based on the archaeological data obtained from Oluz Hoyuk and its environment.
