A community-maintained tertiary reference on Hattusa, directly examined. Its strength is a precise excavator, a precise excavation year and a description of what the recovered archive actually contained; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a Hittitology monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.
