Settlements and Road Connections in Şebinkarahisar in the II. Millenium B.C. In the Light of Surface Studies

Summary/Abstract: Sebinkarahisar district is located within the borders of Eastern Black Sea Region where II Millennium BC culture was intensively common. Our studies in the district were carried out in order to support the results of our previous surveys in Alucra and Çamoluk which are located in the eastern part of the district. Rivers and lakes have been one of the main factors that play an important role in choosing the settlements since the earliest periods of history. For example, Hittites which dominated the Anatolia in the II Millennium BC, settled around Kızılırmak river intentionally. It might be considered that settlements belonging to Kaska and Azzi-Hayaşa peoples can be found in Sebinkarahisar which is located in the related mountainous part. Survey carried out in Sebinkarahisar which is located in the mountainous part of Giresun revealed that natural roads of the district connect Eastern Black Sea Region to Eastern Anatolia and Middle Central Anatolia throughout the centuries. It is aimed to reach settlements of II Millennium BC and determine the road routes in Sebinkarahisar.
