Abstract
I. THE Hittite site of Sakje-Geuzi has already been described, both in this journal and in the Liverpool Annals of Archaeology for 1908. Some five or six large mounds are disposed in the form of a rough circle, and in the centre of these is a smaller one, which has proved to be the site of a royal residence. Work was begun in September, 1911, on the largest of them, called Son-grus Eyuk. This, like others which have been examined, proved to be almost wholly artificial— the accumulation of ruined houses and débris. It rises to the height of 160 ft. above the plain, and is about 600 ft. by 500 ft. in greatest length and breadth, though the general appearance of its surface is more elongated than these figures suggest.
