Tell Tayinat

Timothy Harrison, a professor of Near and Far East Civilizations at the University of Toronto, has been unearthing many artifacts that shed light on history for 17 years at Tayinat Mound in the southern province of Hatay.

Excavations at the Tayinat Mound in the southern Turkish province of Hatay have uncovered an ancient sculpture of a woman, around the same size as the statue of King Suppiluliuma previously discovered at the site.

The sculpture, which is made up of a head and body, is thought to date back to the late Hittite period in the 9th century B.C. 

For a new project begun within the scope of Museums' Week, the Bilkent Cultural Initiative (BKG), the largest museum store chain in Turkey, has brought 3-D printing technology to the Topkap? Palace Museum Store, displaying a 3-D printed reproduction of a sculpture of Hittite King Suppiluliuma for visitors. 

The Archaeological Museum in Hatay, one of Turkey's most religiously diverse provinces, will soon boast the world's largest mosaic collection, following restorations to the building.
