Sorgun Karakız and Kazankaya Hittite Sculpture Workshops

About 500 m to the Karakız Municipality Building, there was found a statue of a lion and numerous finished and unfinished sculpted basalt blocks, indicating that the site was used as a quarry and stone workshop during Hittite Period. About one kilometre on the south of the Karakız - Kadışehri Road, at the Kazankaya locality, a stone-carved cistern of two meters diameter, as well as semi-processed basalt stones were found.
