Abstract
Archaeological studies show that history of mining in Turkey goes back to 7000 BC. Mining appears to have played an important part in the development of the ancient civilizations in Anatolia, such as those of Phoenicians, Hittites, Phrygians, and Lydians. Some mines operating even now in Turkey were originally discovered and mined by the people of the ancient civilizations.
