Abstract :A stamp Seal recently acquired by the Kayseri Archaeological Muscum* and some of the stamp and cylinder scal impressions discovercd during the excavations at Acemhöyük have given us an opportunity to study a signi- ficant group of Anatolian. seals. Tlıese are of tke type known as hammer-headed scals, classified by Hogarth according to the form of the handlc, and cylindcr- stamp scals. As Hogarth` writes, seals of this group are generally of hematite and marbie, but we know now that cxamples made of melal or other materials are also common. In comparison with the round-topped conical seals^, charac- teristic of Anatolia in the 18th century B.C., the number of these seals is con- siderably fewer. However, this group is of great imporlance from the point of view of the richness in seal subject-matter. Some of these seals have only designs on their bases, while in a cylindrical or prismatic form with four or eight sidcs is engraved with figurative and geometric designs on the sides in addition to its base.
