Maşat Höyük[1] is a Bronze Age Hittite archaeological site 100 km nearly east of Boğazkale/Hattusa, about 20 km south of Zile, Tokat Province, north-central Turkey, not far from the Çekerek River. The site is under agricultural use and is plowed. It was first excavated in the 1970s. {{Infobox settlement|pushpin_map = Turkey |pushpin_label_position =bottom |pushpin_mapsize =300 |pushpin_map_caption =Location in Turkey |coordinates = {{coord|40|08|54|N|35|45|44|E|display=inline}} |official_name = Masat Höyük }} HistoryThe enigmatic marauding Kaskas burned this site during Tudhaliya's reign. The Hittites rebuilt it under the next king Suppiluliuma I. Cuneiform tablets from the site form a new archive of Hittite texts. The letters found at Masat Höyük were edited by Sedat Alp in a two-volume edition in Turkish and German in 1991. Most tablets here are correspondence between the site and the Hittite king, a "Tudhaliya" who was probably Tudhaliya III; most concern the Kaska front. The Hittites' capital at this time was either Sapinuwa (which has been found) or else Samuha (which has not). One place-name mentioned in the texts is Tabigga/Tabikka, which is now generally considered to be the Hittite name of the Maşat Höyük site.[2] The site also contains 14th-century Helladic period[3] ware from mainland Greece. ArchaeologyThe site of Maşat Höyük measures 450 by 225 meters, with a lower town and an upper citidel area which stands 29 meters above the plain. A cuneiform tablet was found on the surface by H. G. Guterbock in 1943 and published. A small excavation resulted in 1945. Full excavation did not begin until 1973, sponsored by the Turkish Historical Society.[4] Wood collected by field archaeologist Tahsin Özgüç of Ankara University at the upper Hittite level at Masat Höyük has been added to the Aegean Dendrochronology Project, a 30-year-long project established to build tree-ring chronologies for the Eastern half of the Mediterranean. The wood, which was tentatively dated to 1353 BCE, was retrieved from an excavation site of a building where archeologists also had found imported Late Helladic IIIA/B Stirrup jars, a famous form of pottery.[5] In 2005, the project published an updated report on the dendrochronology research results for Anatolia.[6][7] Notes1. ^Höyük means mound. 2. ^As by Trevor Bryce, The Kingdom of the Hittites, rev. ed. 2005. 3. ^The ware at the site is correlated to Late Helladic IIIA (LHIIIA:1). 4. ^Tahsin Özgüç, Excavations at the Hittite Site, Maşat Höyük: Palace, Archives, Mycenaean Pottery, American Journal of Archaeology, vol. 84, no. 3, pp. 305-309, (Jul., 1980) 5. ^[https://dendro.cornell.edu/reports/report1996.pdf] Aegean Dendrochronology Project December 1996 Progress Report 6. ^ BC Kuniholm P.I., Newton M.W., Griggs C.B., Sullivan P.J., Dendrochronological dating in Anatolia: the second millennium, Der Anschnitt, vol. 18, pp. 41–47, 2005 7. ^Data from the Aegean Dendrochronology Project is available at the International Tree-Ring Data Bank (ITRDB) at NOAA.
