Excavations at the Site of Kayalipinar (Eastern Cappadocia/Turkey) - Investitagions on institutional buildings in Hittite Samuha

2014年秋季发现的楔形文字石碑碎片，使人们能够将卡亚利皮纳的出土地点与希特人城市萨穆哈联系起来。这使得赫梯帝国最重要的地方之一得以本地化，赫梯首都档案已经提供了大量信息。作为临时王室所在地和重要的邪教场所，萨穆哈具有巨大的科学潜力。在2013年和2014年DFG资助的挖掘活动中，发现了萨穆哈的旧亚述贸易哨所(瓦巴图姆，后来的卡鲁姆)的遗迹(19.18美分)。公元前)，以及赫梯宫殿建筑群的一部分，一直使用到13美分。公元前2015年，一个楔形文字档案被发现，并部分出土。申请书要求继续这项工作，重点是完全打捞楔形档案，调查其建筑背景，并挖掘宫殿建筑D，特别是东翼。研究项目的主要内容是扩展对安纳托利亚青铜时代文化的认识，特别是对古代近东赫梯帝国的影响因素的认识。

Fragments of cuneiform tablets, discovered in autumn 2014 allowed the identification of the excavated Site at Kayalipinar with the Hittite city Samuha. This enabled the localization of one of the most important places of the Hittite Empire, of whom the Hittite capitalarchives delivered already plenty information. As temporary royal seat and important cult place Samuha offers a great scientific potential.During the DFG financed excavation campaigns in 2013 and 2014 remains of the Old-Assyrian trading post (wabartum, later karum) of Samuha were uncovered (19./18. cent. B.C.), as well as parts of a Hittite Palatial Complex, in use until the 13. cent. B.C. In 2015 an archive of cuneiform tablets was discovered and unearthed partially. The application seeks for a continuation of the work, with a focus upon the complete salvage of the cuneiform archive, investigation of its architectural context and excavation of the palatial building D, especially the Eastern Wing. The main concern of the research project is the extension of the knowledge about the Bronze Age Culture of Anatolia, especially of the Hittite Empire asincisive factor of the Ancient Near East.
