Archaeologists unearthed a 3,300-year-old seal and a dagger during excavations at Tavşanlı Mound, located in the central Turkish province of Kütahya, a region with a history spanning 8,000 years.

The excavations in Tavşanlı Mound, also dubbed the "Heart of Kütahya" due to its shape detected through aerial footage, are being carried out within the framework of a state-approved excavation led by Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University (BŞEÜ) in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
