Tombstones, along with constituting a significant part of our written cultural heritage, both reveal the identities of people living in the area and provide information to learn about various issues such as the people's social classes, economical features, gender and occupation; the data on the tombstone can be considered as the biography of the deceased. Moreover tombstones, besides providing information on a number of events such as wars, epidemics, migrations are also a dependable source on the historical topography and demography, social and administrative history, clothing and family structures of the region. Occasionally, tombstones can also bear information on the history of language and literature. Accordingly, tombstones are an indispensable source of information to those working on the history, art history, ethnography and folklore of a region. Even though the courtyards and/or nearby areas of most of the mosques and mescit's (small mosques) at Bergama have been used as graveyards (hazire), that of the Harputlu Mescit is the only one that has been preserved to present in the city centre. The present study has been designed to record, document and to inventorize the historical cemeteries, hazire and tombstones in and around Bergama, so as to develop awareness in the region for cultural assets, anticipating that it will contribute to save them for the future. We also anticipate that the present study will contribute to the historical perspective of the city. As an initial step, a survey of the hazire and tombstones in the mosques and mescit 's in and around Bergama have been carriedout; the tombstones at the Bergama Museum, Zagnos Village, Hazire of Harputlu Mescit, Kulaksiz Mosque, Emir Sultan Mosque, Aslanli Mosque have been considered. A more extensive documentation have been carriedout at the hazire of the Harputlu Mescit, all tombstones were documented and inscriptions of tombstones were read and recorded. The work on the tombsones have been supplemented by the written documents and as well from Harputlu family and from the people who know the family, all providing detailed information was obtained. Casts of inscriptions was taken, their transcriptions were made and their photographies were taken. Tombstone inscriptions of Harputlu Haziresi are now one of the important documents which enlighten history of the city.
