The Türkmen-Karahöyük Intensive Survey Project (TISP) has identified the archaeological site of Türkmen-Karahöyük on the Konya plain as a previously unknown Iron Age capital city in the western region of Tabal. Surface collections and newly discovered inscriptional evidence indicate that this city is the early first-millennium royal seat of ‘Great King Hartapu’, long known from the enigmatic monuments of nearby Kizildağ and Karadağ. In addition to demonstrating this Iron Age city's existence, supported principally by (1) the site's size at the time and (2) the discovery of a royal inscription authored by Hartapu himself, TISP has documented the site's existence from the Late Chalcolithic period until the late first millennium BCE, with a maximum size reached between the Late Bronze and Iron Age periods, suggesting that the city was at its greatest extent and the regional political centre from at least the late second to the mid-first millennium BCE.

Hartapu 市：Türkmen-Karahöyük 密集调查项目的结果

Türkmen-Karahöyük 深入调查项目 (TISP) 已将位于科尼亚平原的 Türkmen-Karahöyük 考古遗址确定为塔巴尔西部地区以前不为人知的铁器时代首都。地表收藏品和新发现的铭文证据表明，这座城市是“伟大的哈塔普国王”一千年早期的王室所在地，从附近的克孜尔达格和卡拉达格的神秘古迹中早已为人所知。除了证明这个铁器时代城市的存在，主要由（1）当时遗址的规模和（2）哈塔普本人撰写的皇家铭文的发现提供支持，TISP 还记录了该遗址从铜器时代晚期到公元前一千年后期，在青铜时代晚期和铁器时代之间达到最大尺寸，
