An archaeological hill (tepe) on the plateau south of the Kizilırmak River in the Cappadocia region of Turkey. About 20km southwest of the hill is the ancient Roman city of Kayseri (old name Caesarea), occupying an important transportation location. Winkler excavated the site in 1906, and Hrozny investigated it in 1925. Excavations have been ongoing by Turkish archaeologists since 1948. The ruins of the capital city, called Kanish in Assyrian and Nesa in Hittite, are the remains of an Assyrian commercial colony established here around the 19th to 18th centuries BC, and a large number of economic documents written in Assyrian have been excavated.
