The 4.5 hectares large site of Tilmen H\u00f6y\u00fck (coordinates 37\u00b01\u201948.49\u201dN, 36\u00b042\u201916.48\u201dE) lies in the Islahiye valley (Gaziantep, Turkey), which connects the lower Orontes valley to the southern piedmont of central Taurus mountain range. During the Bronze age, the region belonged to the Inner Syrian cultural context, and held a highly strategic significance, over the course of time, for the connections between Upper Mesopotamian and Levantine lowlands on the one hand and the Anatolian highlands on the other. Settled since the Late Chalcolithic period, the city attained its major flourishing during the Middle Bronze II (c. 18th<\/span><\/span><\/span>-17th<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0centuries BCE), when it is probably to be identified with ancient <\/span><\/span><\/span>Zalbar\/Zalwar<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>. Key evidence suggests that the site hosted also an Old Babylonian trading station, which was part of a network running from the Middle Euphrates to Cilicia and parallel to that of Ashur. With its massively walled lower town and fortified acropolis and its <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u2018Cyclopean\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/span> architecture of basalt blocks, Tilmen H\u00f6y\u00fck is one of the most monumental cities of the area in that period.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_position=”top_left”

Fortress P protected the north-western corner of the Lower Town casemate circuit. The access to the fortress, on the southern side of the structure, obviously opened towards the inside of the city. A corridor, which opened on one side onto two stairwells, led at its end to two square rooms, while monolithic thresholds marked the access to the different sectors. The fortress, after the destruction at the end of Middle Bronze II, was reoccupied during Late Bronze I. A little further south stands the fortress tower P2, which is in a worse state of preservation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_image=”https:\/\/www.orientlab.net\/tilmen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/04\/food-07.jpg” custom_padding=”48px|24px|48px|24px” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.orientlab.net\/tilmen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/04\/p9.jpg” url=”https:\/\/www.orientlab.net\/tilmen\/area-p-gallery\/” url_new_window=”on” use_overlay=”on” overlay_icon_color=”#ffffff” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” hover_icon=”||divi||400″ align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”-50px|-24px|-50px|-24px” custom_padding=”|||” animation_style=”flip” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ height=”20px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” max_width=”1280px” custom_padding=”0|0px|0px|0px” animation_style=”fade” animation_direction=”top” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”1280px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”48px|24px|48px|24px” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.orientlab.net\/tilmen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/04\/k3-5.jpg” url=”https:\/\/www.orientlab.net\/tilmen\/area-k-3-gallery\/” url_new_window=”on” use_overlay=”on” overlay_icon_color=”#ffffff” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” hover_icon=”||divi||400″ align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”-50px|-24px|-50px|-24px” custom_padding=”|||” animation_style=”flip” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_image=”https:\/\/www.orientlab.net\/tilmen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/04\/food-07.jpg” custom_padding=”48px|24px|48px|24px” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Playfair Display||||||||” text_text_color=”#1f1f1f” text_font_size=”40px” header_font=”Playfair Display||||” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#1f1f1f” header_font_size=”24px” header_line_height=”1.3em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”center” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||10px|” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Areas K-3 and K-2<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ height=”20px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”60px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||10px|” saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Playfair Display||||||||” text_text_color=”#939393″ text_font_size=”15px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”Playfair Display||||||||” header_font_size=”40px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” max_width=”700px” module_alignment=”center” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”top” animation_intensity_slide=”4%” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In addition to the monumental city gate K-1 and K-6, two other smaller passages were located respectively along the northern (K-2) and western (K-3) sections of the outer walls.
