摘要:Systematic work was performed at the Dede Mezar. Cemetery in 2005-2006. We started with geodesic work and continued by laying grids in the planned excavation area. This excavation was carried out b y the Afyonkarahisar Archaeological Museum with permission fr om the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. In 2005-2006, an excavation was carried out at the Dede Mezar. cemetery in Yukar. .aybelen village, district of Bayat, province of Af yonkarahisar. The results show that this cemeter y was in use from the beginning of the 2. Millenium B.C. to the middle of this millenium. There are some problems with this region of West- Centr al Anatolia concerning especially the Assyrian Trade Colonies Period and the Early Hittite Period. This research area is one of the few cemeteries dated to this period. The findings from this cemetery are contemporary with, and give the same results as, the findings at Yanar lar (10 km to the Northwest), at the .avlum and Demircih.yük-Sar.ket cemeteries in Eski.ehir. Drawing the cadastre began only recently and property maps have not yet been prepared. Points P.30, P.31 and P.39 were used in the topography, and grids were laid out. over the whole of the Dede Mezar.. In addition, a 10m x 10m. plan of the 200m x 200m area was prepared. We continued with geophysical work in an area of 4500 m2 where the excavation would be carried out. This helped us to determine the first area to be excavated. We took three human bone fragments from graves which were analyzed by the Beta Analytic Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory. According to these analyses, the samples from the graves date to between 1950-1520 B. C. These radiocarbon analyses concur with our evaluation of the archaeological findings
