Outline of Final Research Achievements

The excavation research and study at Yassihoyuk in the central Turkey has revealed shapes and patterns of a palace and functions or rolls of its consisting rooms in the 3rd millennium B.C. It is inferred the city having a palace as the heart in its center was active not only inside the city walls but also towards the outside areas. Also, both the architectural remains of the early 2nd millennium B.C. on the mound and the lower city in the north-western skirt of the mound which was found by the ground penetrating radar survey suggest that there was one of Anatolian cities which had trading relationships to each other as well as with Assyria and Syria. The city with this palace is a forerunner of the city of 2nd millennium B.C.
