Abstract : According to the cuneiform tablets found in Anatolia, the names of many cities, large and small are mentioned in the Hittite era and before. The locations of the majority of these cities have been determined. According to the tablet information, the location and size of the cities can be determined according to the trade volume with the Assyrian merchants. Kuššara is a middle level trade (wabartum) center. This study was carried out on the location of the city of Kuššara, which is mentioned in many tablets. Kuššara assumed an active position in the state administration after 1750 B.C. The fact that Pithana and her son Anitta, who founded in particular the Hittite state were from this city draws attention. It is understood from the tablets that Hattusili I, who later founded the Hittite state, and the dynasties were from Kuššara. According to the information on the tablets, it is understood that it is a place close to Kaniš and Hattuša. But its exact location is unknown.
