What to see
Foundations of large administrative buildings and storerooms are exposed on the slope; the tablets — letters, rituals and lists — show the city served as a military and religious centre and a royal residence.
An hour on site; it is remote and best combined with the Çorum Museum.
It is an active excavation and does not appear on the ministry's ticketed list; access rules were not found.
