Doğantepe (until 1928 Zara ) is a former municipality in the central district of the Turkish province of Amasya . Today the place is a district of Amasya . Doğantepe is located about 20 kilometers southwest of the provincial center on the Elgazi Deresi River (also Karakavak Deresi ), a tributary of the Çekerek Çayı . Two kilometers south of the D-180 highway runs from Çorum in the west to Amasya.
In Doğantepe, the remains of a larger settlement were found on an area of 200 × 300 meters, which was already inhabited at the time of the Hittite Empire. The most famous finds are a bronze statuette of the weather god and a stamp seal that a farmer unearthed while excavating and that are now exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Amasya . They were first described in 1961 by the Turkish Hittite scientist Sedat Alp . During surface investigations from 1997 to 1999, Şevket Dönmez found ceramics from the Early and Middle Bronze Age , the Middle to Late Iron Age and the Hellenistic period.
