Oluz Höyük, in the Amasya Province, situated in the Land Zone of the Central Black Sea Region, resides at the 27th km of the Corum Mainroad, in the territory of the Gökhöyük Agriculture Operation Management. Oluz Höyük, which has dimensions of 280 x 260 m, is 15 m higher than the plate level and has a field of 45.000 m2 and one of the biggest hoyuks of the region. A total of 6 architectural layers were discovered resulting from the excavations of Oluz Höyük 2007 (first season) carried out in two trenchs. In this context The 0 Layer of the Oluz Höyük could be dated to Middle Age; The 1st Architectural Layer to Hellenistic Period (The end of 2nd century BC and the beginning of the 1st century BC); The 2nd Architectural Layer to the Late Phase of the Late Iron Age (4th and 3rd centuries BC). The 3rd and 4th Architectural layers could be dated to the Early Phase of the Late Iron Age (6th and 5th centuries BC), 5th Architectural Layer to the Middle Iron Age (7th century BC) and 6th Architectural Later to possibly either Early Iron Age or Late Bronze Age in other words, to the Age of Hittite Empire Period. Geophysical tecniques were applied for archaeological excavation in Amasya, Oluz Hoyuk. Geophysical studies were shown some anomalies that can be interpreted as walls and tombs. Location of anomalies were excavated in 2008 season.
