Inscribed blocks (BOĞAZKÖY 15)

Two rectangular limestone blocks with graffiti style hieroglyphic inscriptions were found in 1969 by the south end of the Great Temple area. Inscriptions show names and titles of multiple scribes incised in a disorderly fashion. Both blocks still can be seen in the temple area of the site.
