Stages of urban development in Samuha. An Anatolian "Holy City" in the 2nd millennium BC.

2014/15年在Kayalıpınar发现的赫梯楔形文字档案使这个时代最重要的城市之一的本地化成为可能：Samuha。伟大的哈图西里三世国王称之为“上帝之城”，但它也是一个皇家临时住所，以前是亚述商人的基地。这些城市发展的不同阶段将通过考古发掘进行调查。重点是特别是在14/城市的鼎盛时期。13.公元前世纪。该项目分为四个主题：1。城市空间发展; 2。城市基础设施建设; 3。城市行政中心的发展; 4。发展成为“上帝之城”。将对不同的时间段进行示范性检查，并相互比较，以识别变化。这将有助于更好地理解早期先进文明的城市进程。

The discovery of a Hittite cuneiform archive in Kayalıpınar in 2014/15 enabled the localization of one of the most important cities of this era: Samuha. Great King Hattusili III called it the "City of God", but it also served as a royal residence temporarily and was previously a base of Assyrian merchants. The different stages of these urban developments will be investigated by archaeological excavations. The focus is especially the heyday of the city during the 14./13. Century BC. The project is subdivided into four topics: 1. The spatial development of the city; 2. The development of the infrastructure of the city; 3. The development of the administrative center of the city; 4. The development as a "city of God". Different time slices are to be examined exemplarily and compared with one another in order to recognize changes. This should contribute to a better understanding of urban processes in early advanced Civilization.
