Lake Van basin, which was the heartland of the Urartian kingdom, has the most striking data in eastern Anatolia for the Iron Age sequence. The evidence for the post-Urartian period following the collapse of the Urartian kingdom and where our knowledge is insufficient has been found in the basin of Lake Van so far. Even though the archaeological evidence is extremely few compared to the Urartian period, they are important because they belong to a period in which we have quite limited information. The excavations at Karagündüz Mound, Van Fortress Mound, Çavuştepe Fortress and our surveys in the basin enabled us to obtain new results for the post-Urartian period. The article contains the end of the kingdom in the basin of Lake Van, where the Urartian capital is located within the framework of both written sources and archaeological evidence, and the socio-political structure of the highland of eastern Anatolia.
