Fatmaören Höyüğü is a mound located 500 meters west-northwest of Yörüklü town, Sungurlu District, Çorum. It is 2.5 km as the crow flies from Hüseyindede Höyüğü. The mound was formed on three natural elevations. At its highest point, it is 25 meters above field level. These three elevations, known as Fatmaören Hill, appear as an oasis in a wetland region, despite the dry and barren surroundings. Boyalı Höyük, Hüseyindede Höyüğü, and Fatmaören are seen as the core region of Hittite Culture in the 3rd millennium BC.

Hüseyindede Tepe is an Early Hittite site in the Sungurlu district of Turkey's Çorum Province, about 2 km south of a town called Yörüklü. The site has been surveyed in 1997, leading to the discovery of the Hüseyindede vases, one of which depicts dancers and processions and the other of which shows thirteen figures, with two in the act of somersaulting over a bull. A third Hittite vase depicting dancers, musicians and acrobats was found in İnandık. The artwork is in Anatolian style and not an import from Minoan Crete, the area mostly associated with bull-leaping.
