Chance finds during securing measures (2014-2015) and work on the north-western foot (2018-2019) have surprisingly yielded the first indications of previously unknown building layers on the Büyükkale Plateau, which was investigated in stages over a large area between 1906 and 1966. Systematic work by the applicant confirmed this in 2021 and 2022. Larger areas in the northwest and south of the strategically favourable castle rock and the Hittite royal castle lying on it must ultimately be considered unknown. The investigation of these features makes it possible to add to the known building structure both in the Middle and Late Iron Age and especially in the Hittite period. It will thus be possible to clarify essential unanswered questions concerning the structure of the Hittite palace and the partly monumental, large-scale buildings of the Late Iron Age. The work is being carried out with regard to the Hittite epoch against the background of the chronological and structural development of the city, which has been completely reworked in recent decades. The clarification of hitherto unknown Hittite buildings in the northwest of the plateau changes the view of the connection between the upper court and the postulated private buildings of the kings (E and F). At the same time, radiocarbon dating will make it possible for the first time to place the palace complex in a direct functional and structural relationship to the development of the rest of the city. So far, the end of Iron Age settlement in Boğazköy is as chronologically unclear as the reasons for it. The unexpected discovery of structures of this period not only allows a chronological determination of this important caesura for the cultural-historical development of Central Anatolia, but, in view of the apparently good state of preservation, allows conclusions to be drawn about the reasons for the abandonment of the settlement. As far as is known, layers of this period can only be examined in the unexpectedly discovered area. Through fine-stratigraphic excavations, during which archaeobotanical and archaeo-zoological material will be obtained for the first time in this area of the city to analyse the socio-economic foundations, it is possible to draw exemplary conclusions for the whole of Büyükkale in Hittite times and in the Iron Age.

在安全措施（2014-2015年）和西北脚（2018-2019年）工作期间的偶然发现令人惊讶地在Büyükkale高原上首次发现了以前未知的建筑层，该建筑层在1906年至1966年期间分阶段进行了大面积调查。申请人的系统性工作在2021年和2022年证实了这一点。在战略上有利的城堡岩和位于其上的赫梯皇家城堡的西北和南部的更大区域最终必须被认为是未知的。对这些特征的研究使人们有可能在铁器时代中期和晚期，特别是赫梯时期增加已知的建筑结构。因此，它将有可能澄清关于赫梯宫殿结构和铁器时代晚期部分纪念性大型建筑的基本未解之谜。这项工作是在赫梯时代的城市时间和结构发展的背景下进行的，近几十年来已经完全重新设计。高原西北部迄今未知的赫梯建筑的澄清改变了对上层宫廷与假定的国王私人建筑之间联系的看法（E和F）。与此同时，放射性碳测年将首次使宫殿建筑群与城市其他部分的发展有直接的功能和结构关系。到目前为止，铁器时代在博阿兹柯伊定居的结束在时间上和原因上都是不清楚的。这一时期的建筑物的意外发现不仅使我们能够按时间顺序确定这一重要的停顿，为中安纳托利亚的文化历史发展，但鉴于明显良好的保存状态，使我们能够得出关于定居被遗弃的原因的结论。据目前所知，这一时期的地层只能在意外发现的地区进行检查。通过精细的地层挖掘，在此期间，将首次在城市的这一地区获得考古植物学和考古动物学材料，以分析社会经济基础，有可能得出整个Büyükkale在赫梯时代和铁器时代的模范结论。
