The most important scene on this descriptive band is the somersaulting acrobat on a bull. At the edge of the mouth of the large vase in Inandik style there is a small vessel and four bull heads looking inside as well as four descriptive bands. The subjects of the descriptive bands are again the religious ceremonies of the Hittite period. Besides these reliefed vases flask shaped cups from the old Hittite period with whose forms we were already familiar and round mouthed and high necked jugs were also found. In the investigations of 1998 architecture belonging to the Old Hittite period was followed which appeared to be executed in terraces, and the excavation work will be continued in the coming years.
