Alisar Hoyuk Alisar Hoyuk, also known as Alisar Mound, is located south of the Sorgun District and southeast of Yozgat Province, about 2.5 kilometers north of Alisar Village. Situated on a flat plain that was once irrigated by the Konak Suyu, it is believed that Alisar was one of the largest settlements in Central Anatolia, with the main settlement covering an area of 520x350m and standing 30 meters tall from its base to an altitude of 245x145m. However, the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago has faced criticism for a lack of significant findings at Alisar Mound despite their archaeological partnership with E.F. Schmidt and others during the six seasons between 1927 and 1932. The excavation team was criticized for not uncovering any extraordinary artifacts, even though the excavation was carefully and systematically conducted. It is important to note that the layers at Alisar were mixed due to early settlement displacement, making it a "multi-core" mound. The first cultural layer at Alisar dates back to the Late Chalcolithic/Early Bronze Age, with the third layer dating to Early Bronze Age Phase III. In 1993-1995, the second millennium BC settlement was excavated, revealing lower layers that could expand our knowledge of this region and its importance to Turkish archaeology. As a result, Alisar Mound has been registered as an archaeological site by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
