In terms of the number of tablets found in the official Kültepe excavations, which have been continued since 1948, the season of 1992 is one of the richest years. 1058 pieces of items were found in that year. The documents Kt 92/k 1027-1034 were discovered in a separate trench away from all other tablets. Consequently, these documents have to be studied as a small archive separately from other tablet groups. The names of Enna-Su’en and Kuzallum are prominent in these tablets. According to the data occurred from the texts, it is understood that this small archive has to be dated around 1860 BC (Middle Chronology). The text Kt 92/k 1030 is important because it records the city name Gazabura for the first time in Kültepe sources. It is obvious that the city Gazabura, spelled as Ga-za-bu-ra-i-im in the text, is the Old Assyrian form of a well known city from the Hittite sources as Gazziura or Gašipura or Ka/izzimara which is identified with modern Turhal
