===Late Bronze=== ====Mycenaean period==== Some large [[Mycenae]]an tombs have been found at Musgebi (or Muskebi, modern [[Ortakent]]), not far from Halicarnassus. According to Turkish archaeologist Yusuf Boysal, the Muskebi material, dating from the end of the fifteenth century BC to ca. 1200 BC, provides evidence of the presence, in this region, of a Mycenaean settlement.<ref name=Yusuf>Yusuf Boysal, [http://dergiler.ankara.edu.tr/dergiler/14/701/8862.pdf New Excavations in Caria (PDF)], Anadolu, (1967), pp. 32β56.</ref> More than forty burial places dating back to that time have been discovered. A rich collection of artifacts found in these tombs is now housed in the [[Bodrum Castle]]. These finds cast some light on the problem of determining the territories of ancient [[Arzawa]] and [[Achaeans (Homer)|Ahhiyawa]].<ref name =Yusuf />
