Kuzeydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi'nin en büyük ovalarından Erzurum Ovası'nın batı kesiminde yer alan Çiğdemli Höyük, Karaz kültüründen başlayarak Demir Çağları sonuna kadar kesintisiz olarak yerleşim görmüştür. Aynı zamanda Ortaçağ'a ait izler de mevcuttur. 1997 yılında Prof. Dr. Mehmet Karaosmanoğlu'nun bilimsel danışmanlığında kısa süreli bir kurtarma kazısı gerçekleştirilmiştir. Aynı zamanda 2001 yılında yine Prof. Dr. Mehmet Karaosmanoğlu başkanlığında bu kez Erzurum Ovası'ndaki yüzey araştırmasında Çiğdemli Höyük'ten çok sayıda seramik malzemesi toplanmıştır. Çiğdemli Höyük seramik malzemesi üzerinde değerlendirmelerin yapıldığı ve Doğu Anadolu'da çok benzeri olmayan biçimde Demir Çağlarının her üç evresinin tespit edildiği bu çalışmanın, konu ile ilgili yapılacak araştırmalara ışık tutacağına inanılmaktadır.
With the establishment of the Achaemenid Empire (550-330 BC), vast areas with different nationalities, customs and traditions came under the rule of the Achaemenid kingdom. Managing these different regions required well-equipped and numerous means of communication to facilitate access throughout the imperial kingdom. To achieve this, once the country had stabilized, the Achaemenids rebuilt old roads and established new ones. For the benefit of the passengers on these roads, they built several stations to provide food, water, horses and other amenities so that the fatigue of the passengers was alleviated. Soldiers were also present on these roads to ensure the safety of the traffic. The main roads were called "Royal roads" and connected all the capitals and important centers (Susa, Persepolis, Pasargad, Hegmataneh, Sardes, Babylonia) of the empire. There were many secondary roads connecting other areas and larger centers (Other cities and villages). Therefore, in this study, it will be tried to give information about the roads planned by the Achaemenid Empire in the light of written documents and archaeological data.
