Seyitomer Hoyuk is located in the Seyitomer Lignite Company's reserve zone in Kuyahya. It is an ancient habitiation site measuring 150x150 meters, and is situated 23.5 meters above its surroundings. It is located within the boundaries of the old town of Seyitomer. The site will be excavated completely over the next fivc years because the Seyitomer Lignite company intends to mine 7 million tons of exploitable coal reserve beneath it. The challengeto the archaeologist is unique, presenting problems and solutions both in completeing the task using the best archaeological methods available and conducting a rescue excavation.

This is the third time this site has been the subject of a research project. The Eskisehir Museum in 1989 for one season and the Afyon Museum, from 1990 to 1995, worked at Seyitomer Hoyuk. Both excavations together managed to clear only about 1/10th of the mound.

In 2005, the Seyitomer Lignite Company applied to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism with an aim to reinitiate the excavation so that the coal reserve present beneath the mound could eventually be exploited. For this reason, Dumlupinar University established its Department of Archaeology, and then Signed a protocol between the University and the coal industry to provide the required specialists to re-open the excavation. Consequently, the present rescue excavations at the Seyitomer mound were initiated.
