Cet article examine les donnes actuellement disponibles concernant le site archo-
logique de Girik Tepe, situ dans la plaine de Patnos dans l'est de la Turquie. Le site,
fouill au dbut des annes 60 du sicle dernier mais malheureusement publi de faon
trs rapide, a montr des structures architecturales intressantes et des matriaux claire-
ment attribuables la civilisation de l'Ourartou. L'analyse critique des thses publies et
les donnes prcdemment rapportes, y compris les hypothses concernant la prsence
ventuelle d'un harem l'intrieur du palais, a conduit de nouvelles conclusions, y
compris la possibilit que le palais ait t la rsidence dun gouverneur local ourarten.
The site of Girik Tepe, also known as Deirmentepe, is located in the south-
eastern outskirts of the city of Patnos in Eastern Turkey (fig.1), 700 metres
south of the Mu - Ar road (D280), at the edge of the bulak Suyu1. A short-
term excavation (1961-1962) was carried out on the site by Kemal Balkan and
Raci Temizer, in contemporary with the investigation of the Urartian fortress of
Aznavur Tepe and the post-Urartian site of Paa Tepe, both in the Patnos area
(fig.2). Unfortunately, before the beginning of this archaeological work, many
illegal excavations (visible from the surface) had severely damaged the site. The
scholars discovered two building phases:
Layer I: architectural remains pertaining to a later period of uncertain date.
Layer II: the remains of Urartian period structures.

Grekyan and Dr Mohammad Mirzaei. Specifically R. Dan wrote The architectural structures
and Conclusions: chronology and function, while P. Vitolo wrote Introduction and The Ura-
rtian pottery.
1 Balkan 1964: 239. The site is located in the Province of Ar, coordinates: 3913'37.72"N
4252'40.67"E, at 1647 metres above sea level. It is site M68/2 of the survey conducted by Aynur
zfrat around the Van region (zfrat 2006: 180), and n 117 in the Urartian site list made by
Wolfram Kleiss and Harald Hauptmann (Kleiss-Hauptmann 1976: 19).
