Konya Karahöyük is well known with its glyptic corpus dated mainly to the first latter of the second millennium BCE.
Cylinder and stamps seals along with hundreds of seal impressions (on clay, pottery, and crescent shaped loom weights) were found at the site during Alp's Excavations (1953-1992). The material is unique to illuminate the relations of the site in an area expanding from Syro-Mesopotamia to Aegean, especially with Crete. While the material is partially published by Alp a reasonable number is pending to be reevaluated.
Starting from 2023, the site yielded new glyptic material (seals & seal impressions). The material is now under study for publication.
