Archaeological Site of Kültepe-Kanesh by Can SARICA
Kültepe-Kanesh consists of a tell, the actual Kültepe, and a lower town, where an Assyrian settlement was found. The city was the administrative centre of the complex trade network established between the north Mesopotamian city of Ashur and Anatolia during the first quarter of the second millennium B.C. 23,500 baked clay tablets (“Kültepe texts”) have been found here which were the first written documents of Anatolia.
