Kalehöyük Archaeological Museum Kaman Kalehöyük Archaeological Museum, which was made as a grant by the Japanese Government within the framework of the "Cultural Heritage Preservation Project", covers a total area of 1,500 square meters, 830 square meters of which is open and 470 square meters of which is enclosed. It is located near the site. In the museum, there are exhibition halls, a cine-vision corner, a library, a laboratory, cafe, warehouses and technical sections that allow examination, research, photography and restoration work. The landscaping is arranged in the style of an excavated mound. Thus, the visitors were provided to see both the finds unearthed during the excavations and the excavation methods and works. Also, the largest botanical garden outside of Japan is built in a "Japanese garden" style. The museum received the "Best green museum" award in 2011 and was nominated for the Museum of the Year in Europe in 2012. Buklukale The site of Büklükale is located in Kırıkkale province, central Turkey near the town of Karakeçili (coordinates 39° 35’ 0” N by 33° 25’ 42” E). It is about 50km west of Kaman-Kalehöyük. The site is about 500m by 650m wide. The location of Büklükale is significant because it is situated at the narrowest point of Kızılırmak river that served as an important crossing-point through the ages. There is a Seljuk (13th century A.D.) bridge there, and the remains of a Roman bridge. The Japanese archaeological team from the Japanese Institute of Anatolian Archaeology that excavate Kaman-Kalehöyük also conduct excavations here under the direction of K. Matsumura since 2008. The site was settled since the Early Bronze Age period (the third millennium BC). A fragment of a Hittite cuneiform tablet was found here during excavations in 2010. This is the most westerly find of any cuneiform tablet in Turkey to date.
