Hüseyindede Tepe is anEarly Hittite site in theSungurlu district of Turkey'sÇorum Province, about 2 km south of a town calledYörüklü (pop. 2,988 as of 2000). The site has been surveyed in 1997, leading to the discovery of theHüseyindede vases, one of which depicts dancers and processions and the other of which shows thirteen figures, with two in the act ofsomersaulting over a bull. A third Hittite vase depicting dancers, musicians and acrobats was found inİnandık. The artwork is in Anatolian style and not an import fromMinoan Crete, the area mostly associated withbull-leaping.
