Tatarlı Höyük is one of the largest settlements of Cilicia Pedias (Campestris). It is located on the important commercial and military routes at the western exit of the Amanus Mountains, in the eastern part of the Ceyhan district of Adana. It is also close to the Hittite-Kizzuwatna Caravan Road and connected to Central Anatolia by this route. This article discusses a seal and two seal impressions found in the excavations of Tatarlı Höyük in 2013 and 2015. One of the seal impressions is without an inscription and can be suggested to belong to the 16th-15th century BC. The other seal impression is inscribed with the female name Pa-ti. We can propose a date for this hieroglyphic seal impression from the 14th to the 13th century BC. One terracotta stamp seal was found out of context during the 2015 excavation season. We can read the name of the seal owner as Sà-li-pi with a proposed dating to the 15th-14th century BC.
