Its story
Resuloğlu is a mound west of the Uğurludağ district and an Early Bronze Age cemetery associated with it. The site was identified in 1998; in excavations carried out from 2003 under the direction of the Çorum Museum, 201 graves were uncovered. The cemetery is dated to the mid-3rd millennium BC, that is, to the period just before the arrival of the Hittites in Anatolia. In the stone cist and jar burials, the dead were mostly buried in a fetal position, and cattle heads and feet were left beside the graves; this tradition resembles the royal tombs of Alacahöyük. Rich finds such as bronze pins, bracelets, beads, daggers and axes are associated with Hattian culture. Part of the site has been damaged by illegal digging.
