Abstract :In the autumn of 1945, Prof. Dr. Bossert , Dr. H. Çambel, N. Ongunsu and M. Darga, c.n behalf of the Institute for Research in Ancient Oriental Civilizations of Istanbul University (Faculty of Letters) , undertook a journey with the object of investigating the strategic route over the Taurus Pass connecting Kayseri with south-eastern Anatolia and nothern Syria in the time of the New Hittite Empire. In the course of this journey they received information of the existenee of a stone lion-monument in the neighbourhood of Kadirli in the vilâyet of Adana. As the season was already advanced, they were unable to check this information on the spot and had to postpone any investigation until the following year.
