A beautiful Roman mosaic was found by unknown searchers in Turkey. It was in the middle of a field. But the finders damaged it and the local museum took over its protection.
The unusual item was discovered in the middle of a field by treasure hunters in Sorgun, Turkey. During their exploration of the area, they found a beautiful mosaic from the late Roman period. In a wheat field, the searchers unearthed two sites located five kilometers from Kerkenes, the largest pre-Hellenistic site from the Anatolian plateau. The identity of the searchers was unknown.
They found a mosaic structure as well as a wall that was hidden about a meter underground. Unfortunately, they damaged part of the mosaic, probably while trying to find and loot some precious treasure. It may have been the Roman mosaic that they broke.
After examining the area, the head of the local Culture and Tourism Office, Lütfi İbiş, said they were searching for the searchers because they had committed illegal excavations, which is a criminal offence. "We will seek to have the area declared an archaeological site because a rare Roman mosaic was found there," Lütfi İbiş said.
The director of the local museum, Hasan Kerim Şenyurt, said explorations on the right side of the mountain in the Kerkenes area have been ongoing since 1993. He said the largest ancient city in Central Anatolia was located there. "The field where the illegal excavations took place is outside the protected archaeological site," Kerim Şenyurt stated.

The mosaic has dimensions of 240x150 centimeters and contains round and diamond shapes. White, green and brown colors can be seen in the small stones of the mosaic. "We will work with the team that is already exploring the area around Kerkenes to fully uncover the mosaic. We want to prevent similar situations in the future when someone damages a precious historical heritage," Şenyurt revealed.
He and his colleagues had a clear goal. First and foremost, to protect the Roman mosaic already found in its current location. As soon as possible, the mosaic will be transferred to the museum. There, the public will be able to see it.
"If the mosaic remains in the same place, we will not be able to protect it. Public space is treacherous. We can protect it better in our museum," Şenyurt concluded.
