This paper deals with 'Anatolian archives' from Kultepe, i.e. groups of tablets written in the Old Assyrian dialect but belonging to Anatolians. It is possible to trace their provenience and sometimes to identify the names of their owners. An analysis of the tablets' shapes, signs, syntax and grammar as well as the contents of some of these documents allow one to characterize them as tablets written by Anatohans.
