Caravansaries with open and covered yards. The structures that exist or do not exist in the region we work show: We can't I a I k about the oxistinon of a road which used for the comtiercia I aims by the Seljucks. For this reason it would be unwise to belive the exist ince of the road which begins at Konya and goes to Ankara -Çankırı - Kastamonu -Sinop. In our apinion, the connection of Antalya -Alanya and Kon ya with Sinop trust be with Kayseri-Sivas-Tokat-Amasya.
