Kurşunlu area is the most important geostrategic zone of Northern Anatolia. It has been a geographical corridor opening from the Black Sea to Central Anatolia at all times in history. Its location is on the transportation line connecting the eastern and western civilizations. Kurşunlu that has brought together the east and the west, as well as the north and the south of ancient Anatolia for five thousand years, has been a critical settlement focus that the Hittites, Phrygians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, Ottomans, and our Republic have always attached importance throughout history due to the said geostrategic location.

 

We will have the chance to listen directly to the findings, discoveries, and respective scientific facts of foreign scientists who have conducted archaeological research regarding the Kurşunlu area for many years.

 

We will watch the presentations of the academicians from our country's academic community who carry out studies with the focus on Çankırı and Kurşunlu and our local history researchers who have dedicated themselves to the historical research of the Kurşunlu area. 

 

Our congress, in which historical findings regarding Kurşunlu that have never been known so far will be presented, will be a platform of a high dynamic and scientific level for you, our valuable participants.

 

With the 1st International Kurşunlu History Congress that we will hold exclusively for Kurşunlu, we would like to convey our local history to our future in the form of a seamless whole and of sources that are both verbal and written.
