Tavşanlı

A 3,900-year-old cylinder seal and a 3,400-year-old lead sling stone have come to light during the archaeological excavation carried out in the Maydos Church Hill Mound in the northwestern province of Çanakkale's Eceabat district.

Archaeological excavations at the Tavşanlı Mound in the western province of Kütahya's Tavşanlı district have unearthed a 3,700-year-old cylinder seal in a layer dating back to the end of the Assyrian Trade Colonies period.

The seal that excited the archaeological world is expected to fill an important gap in Anatolia's trade history.
