Alacahöyük or Alaca Höyük is the site of a Neolithic and Hittite settlement and is an important archaeological site. It is situated near the village of Alacahüyük in the Alaca District of Çorum Province, Turkey, northeast of Boğazkale, where the ancient capital city Hattusa of the Hittite Empire was situated. Its Hittite name is unknown: connections with Arinna, Tawiniya, and Zippalanda have all been suggested.

Sapinuwa was a Bronze Age Hittite city at the location of modern Ortaköy in the province Çorum in Turkey about 70 kilometers east of the Hittite capital of Hattusa. It was one of the major Hittite religious and administrative centres, a military base and an occasional residence of several Hittite kings. The palace at Sapinuwa is discussed in several texts from Hattusa.

Boyalı Höyük is a mound located 2 km east of the Yörüklü town center, southwest of the Çorum Province center, and northwest of the Sungurlu District. The mound was 450 meters east of the old Güloluk Village, which has now become a neighborhood with the expansion of Yörüklü. The valley where the settlement is located stretches between the Delice Basin and the Kaledere mountainous region. The region is seen as the core region of the Hatti Culture in the 3rd millennium BC. For this reason, the excavations at Boyalı Höyük form the focal point of a regional study. On the other hand, it is approximately 7 km from Hüseyindede Höyük and Fatmaören Höyük. All three mounds are Hittite settlements.
