Scribal graffiti (BOĞAZKÖY 17, 22, 26)

Three separate stone blocks with scribal graffiti were found in various locations in the upper city: BOĞAZKÖY 17 in 1979 as reused in a late period structure by Temple 6, BOĞAZKÖY 22 in 1985 by the temenos wall of Temple 4, and BOĞAZKÖY 26 in 2001 as reused in a later period structure at Temple 16. All three bear personal names accompanied with scribe titles. The blocks are in the inventory of the Boğazkale Museum.
