Anadolu Arkeolojisinin en az araştırılmış bölgelerinden biri olan Orta Karadeniz Bölgesi, son yıllarda yapılan kazılar ve yüzey araştırmaları ile Anadolu'nun pek bilinmeyen bölgesine dair bilgilerimizin artmasını sağlamıştır. Özellikle Amasya Bölgesi'nde yer alan ve söz konusu yörenin en büyük höyüklerinden biri olan Oluz Höyük yerleşmesinde 2007 yılından beri yürütülmekte olan kazı çalışmaları bölgenin Geç Kalkolitik Çağ'dan Pers Dönemi'ne kadar kesintisiz iskan gördüğünü kanıtlamıştır. Oluz Höyük'ün 7 ve 8. mimari tabakaları Hitit Büyük Krallık Dönemi'ne tarihlenmektedir. Bazı mimari bulgular dışında Hitit Dönemi kalıntılarına tam olarak ulaşılamamış olsa da, söz konusu mimari tabakalarda ele geçmiş olan taş bir mühür, tunç bir orak, pişmiş toprak tezgah ağırlığı parçası ile çanak-çömlek parçaları, Oluz Höyük'ün önemli bir Hitit yerleşmesi olduğuna işaret etmektedir.
Recent excavations and surveys in the Central Black Sea Region expanded our knowledge on this, one of the least researched regions of Anatolian Archaeology. Especially the excavations continuing since 2007 in Oluz Höyük, which is situated in Amasya and one of the largest mounds of the said region, proved the uninterrupted inhabitation from Late Chalcolithic to the Persian Period in the region. 7th and 8th architectural layers of Oluz Höyük dated to the Hittite Kingdom Period. Although the Hittite Period remains are not fully recovered yet, stone seals, a bronze sickle, fragment of a baked-clay loom weight and pottery fragments points out that Oluz Höyük was an important Hittite settlement
