The Alishar Regional Project is excavating at the site of Cadir
Hoyuk, in the province of Yozgat, southeast of the town of Sorgun, in the
Kanak Su river basin. In 1993, the Turkish Department of Monuments and Museums
gave a permit for regional survey in an 800-km2 (20 X 40 km) area surrounding
the famous site of Alishar Hoyuk. The Project began to revisit
sites in the region and surveyed for additional sites. Twenty-nine sites
were relocated by the Alishar Regional Project, including Cadir Hoyuk.
When it was discovered that many of these archaeological sites,
including Çadir Hoyuk, were threatened by a reservoir that was rising
behind a newly-constructed dam near the village of Gellingulu, a permit
was issued for the excavations at Çadir Hoyuk. After several seasons (1994-1998) of test excavations and surveying the immediate area around Cadir,
the test trenches were expanded into a full-scale excavation (1998-present).
Çadir Hoyük is significant because it exhibits a sequence
of superimposed remains similar to that of the famous site of Alishar Hoyuk, the
largest in the area. There
are significant Chalcolithic(4th -early
3rd millennium BC) and Early Bronze deposits (3rd millennium BC), which can
be reached quickly since they are near the surface on the southern slopes
of the mound, while Middle Bronze (Assyrian Merchant Colony and Old Hittite,
20th - 17th centuries BC) remains are easily reached on the mound's
eastern slopes. Above these,
and nearer to the summit, are Late Bronze
(Hittite Empire, 14th and 13th centuries BC) and, on the summit, Iron Age
(12th-8th centuries BC) and Byzantine (6th to 11th centuries AD) remains.
The presentation will give a unique, first hand opportunity to
interested academicians, students, and professionals as well as to the interested
public. The attendees of the lecture will become familiar with
the project and its importance to the archeology of Anatolia, ancient civilizations
as well as culture in general.
We WELCOME to ALL interested parties
The lecture is free. There
will be a reception following the program.
Maximum seating capacity is 150.
