History
Karataş is a modern settlement situated at the northern bank of Lake Van and 2 km in the east of Erciş in the southeast of Turkey. Here two rock inscriptions of the Urartian king Sarduri II., son of Argišti (8th century BCE) have been found. One of them is of annalistic contents (CTU A 9-10), the other reports the plantation of a vineyard in this region (CTU A 9-11).
