| It is located at the entrance of Ilicaoba Village in Gönen District of Balikesir Province. It was discovered during the survey performed by Yalçikli in 2010. It consists of two caves which are located on a rock; on the eastern edge of the village road. In the cave which is called "Sarikaya 1", a stone tool and a pottery sherd dating to Chalcolithic has been found. The cave "Sarikaya 2" which is located on the east of Sarikaya 1 has two entrances on the southern and the northern direction. The floor of the cave was filled by soil which has been slipped through the narrow opening on the north. No archaeological finds have been found on the surface [Yalçikli 2012:213-214]. |
