Ancient Hittite Settlement in Corum Province, Turkey
Excavations, which started in 1990, revealed Hittite archives holding more than 3000 clay tablets inside a monumental temple-palace complex, which are now held at the Çorum Museum along with other artefacts. Other buildings featured an orthostat with reliefs and many earthenware jars.
