Abstract:

The Kars is the door of Turkey to the Caucasus and has a strategic importance in the Caucasus geography. This strategic importance adds a separate value to the rich water resources, efficient land and mining beds of the Kars region. In fact, the wealth of the Eastern Anatolian region, especially in terms of mining, has since ancient times made the communities a target. Those who want to gain wealth in the area have arranged a trip here. From the tablets that are recorded these times, it is clear that the area is at an advanced level in the mining processing. After the Urartu State was established, it quickly mastered the mining technology, taking over the mining heritage in the region. As the Urartu State began to develop, the need for the necessary raw materials for its industry increased so that from the Epuini-Menua period, the Urartu kings organized flights to their northern regions. The iron shell ends in the Kars Museum are also a result of this. Thus, the people of the towns and towns of the towns and towns of the towns and towns of the towns and towns of the towns and towns of the towns and towns of the towns and towns. It is clear that the soldiers who served in the Urartu armies were using tunch shark ends. By reviewing Urartu mining in our work, we will explore Urartu weapons, weapons and shell ends manufacturing techniques, shell type and characteristics, and address the Urartu shell ends available in the Kars museum.
