Tatarlı Höyük is one of the largest settlements
of Cilicia Pedias (Campestris). It is located
on the important commercial and military
routes at the western exit of the Amanus
Mountains, in the eastern part of the Ceyhan
district of Adana. It is also close to the Hittite-
Kizzuwatna Caravan Road and connected to
Central Anatolia by this route. This article
discusses a seal and two seal impressions
found in the excavations of Tatarlı Höyük in
2013 and 2015. One of the seal impressions is
without an inscription and can be suggested
to belong to the 16th-15th century BC. The
other seal impression is inscribed with the
female name Pa-ti. We can propose a date
for this hieroglyphic seal impression from the
14th to the 13th century BC. One terracotta
stamp seal was found out of context during the
2015 excavation season. We can read the name
of the seal owner as Sà-li-pi with a proposed
dating to the 15th-14th century BC.
