“…The second person mentioned in the list is " Urtu ", who appears to have the title LÚ.DINGIR In line 3 of the tablet, it clearly shows that this person was given 20 arrows and 1 bow. Firstly published in Belli & Salvini, 2003: as line 18-19 in translation: "To Urtu, the "man of the god(? ):30 arrows, 1 bow".…”

“…Due to the absence of any entrance template on the tablet, the lines that should have been the front side were assumed to be the back side in the first transliterations (Belli & Salvini, 2003; CTU IV: CT An-1). 6 This mistake affected the overall coherence of the text mentioned in the content and caused the text not to be evaluated correctly.…”

“…A very small part of the tablet is damaged, but most of it can be read clearly. Following the archaeological excavation report, the contents of the tablet were first published by Salvini, 2003). The tablet, which was subsequently re-published by Salvini in 2012 in the major Urartian corpus CTU IV (CT An-1), is so far a unique example in Urartian sources.…”

“…For this purpose, we have noticed that there may be some mistakes regarding the order in the first transliteration of the content of 1 In this study, all inscription numbers are referenced according to the CTU (Corpus Dei Testi Urartei). Salvini (Belli & Salvini, 2003) and Grekyan (Grekyan, 2009) suggest that 16 people are mentioned in the tablet. However, there are a total of 15 people on the Anzaf tablet (See Table 4).…”

“…However, in order to understand the writing styles and practices of such Urartian tablets with certainty, a much larger number of tablets need to be discovered. 11 Belli and Salvini, in (Belli & Salvini, 2003) offered 15-16 for its transcription, although the translation has 14-17.…”

At the citadel of Van-Yukarı Anzaf, one of the important royal settlements built during the reign of the Urartian king Minua, during the 2001 archaeological excavations, an unsealed inventory tablet, which has no similar example in Urartian sources so far, was found. In the first publications of this unique tablet, which probably records the amount of weapons distributed, the back side was thought to be the front side. However, according to our new evaluations, it is understood that the beginning of the tablet is the other side. This new update not only led to a change in the content, but also helped to place the Anzaf Tablet in a more meaningful framework within Urartian History and bureaucratic sources. It was observed that this "unit", consisting of 15 people in total, was mostly sorted according to a hierarchical order within itself. These details observed in the content of the tablet made it possible to make some suggestions about the tablet as a whole. It is thought that there may be an indirect similarity with other bureaucratic correspondences of Urartian and some visual elements found on metal artefacts. In addition, although not directly mentioned in the tablet, it has been suggested that the personnel list mentioned only as an assumption may be about the distribution of weapons belonging to the chariots and the cavalry soldiers accompanying them.

Urartu Krallığı, MÖ. 9-7. yüzyıllar arasında başkent Tuşpa (Van Kalesi) olmak üzere kurulmuştur. Giderek güç kazanan krallığın sınırları; kuzeyde Gökçe Göl, kuzeybatıda İran, güneyde Urmiye Gölü ve batıda Fırat Nehri’ne kadar ulaşmıştır. Urartulular bu yayılım alanı içerisinde çok sayıda kale inşa etmişlerdir. Bu kalelerden biri de, Van iline 24 km mesafede olan ve Gürpınar İlçesi’nde yer alan Çavuştepe Kalesi’dir. Urartu kralı II. Sarduri (MÖ. 764-734) tarafından inşa ettirilmiş olan kaledeki ilk kazılar, 1961-1986 yılları arasında Prof. Dr. Afif Erzen tarafından gerçekleştirilmiştir. Daha sonraki kazı çalışmaları ise Prof. Dr. Rafet Çavuşoğlu tarafından 2014 yılında başlatılmış olup halen devam etmektedir. İlk dönem kazıları ile ikinci dönem kazılarında kalede çok sayıda ok ucu ele geçmiştir. Demir ya da bronzdan olan ok uçları döküm tekniğinde yapılmıştır. Ok uçları iki gruba ayrılmakla birlikte her grup kendi içerisinde çeşitli tiplere ayrılmaktadır. İlk grubu, sapın içine yerleştirildiği kovan soket bölümü olan kovan formlu ok uçları oluşturmaktadır. Diğer grupta ise, ok ucunun sapa girmesini sağlayan sivri bir çıkıntı söz konusudur. Bu tipteki ok uçları da yaprak formlu ok uçları olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Her iki tipteki ok ucu da mahmuz ya da kanat sayıları ve yapıları bakımından birbirinden farklı özellikler sergilemektedir. Çavuştepe Kalesi’nde ele geçen Urartu okları, savaşın yanı sıra yabani hayvanları avlamada da kullanılmıştır.
