Abstract :The first seaso n of excavation at Karatepe , undertaken in the name of the Turkish Historical Society, the Department of Museums and Antiquities, and the University of Istanbul, lasted from September 11 th to December 7 th 1947. In this period the ring-wall surrounding the site was traced, and two entrance-buildings were cleared. Along the inner walls of the towers which stood on either side of these entrances, rows of orthostates were found, covered with reliefs and inscriptions. These inscriptions were the outstanding discovery of the first season\`s work. They comprise three identical Phoenician texts and two identical Hittite hioroglyphic texts, and Prof. H. Th. Bossert has established that the Hittite and Phoenician are bilingual versions of the same text
Keywords : Hittite Hioroglyphic Texts, Philology, Domuztepe, Anatolia
