Habıbuşağı (İzoli)

Habıbuşağı (İzoli) was an Urartian fortress situated near Kömürhan, at the left shore of the river Euphrates in the Elazığ Province of eastern Turkey. Today it is covered by the reservoir behind the Karakaya dam. Habıbuşağı is best known on account of a rock inscription of the Urartian king Sarduri II, son of Argišti (eighth century BCE) which reports the expedition of Sarduri to this region.

Mersin-Yumuktepe

A tell known today as "Yumuktepe" is located at modern Mersin in Turkey. Excavations there, beginning in the 20th century, have provided evidence for continuous and/or successive human settlement beginning in the Neolithic period. Scholars believe that the names "Ingirâ" (found in Akkadian sources) and "Anchiale(ia)" (found in Greco-Roman sources) are to be associated with the site.
