| It lies 1 km east of Yoncaliöz (Gaybiyan) Village on the northern bank of the Murat Suyu; south-southeast of Yaygin Town; northwest of Mus Province. 3 km east-southeast Körpeagaç (Dom) Village exists and north of the mound Mus-Elazig road; south of it a watering channel passes. It is a round mound. It measures 8 m in height and 100 m in diameter. It was discovered during a survey conducted by C.A. Burney. Sherds of black burnished Karaz ware and red-brown EBA ware were recovered. Rothman; for some reason; calls it Hirtadom. In addition to the sherds dating from the EBA; two sherds of groove decorated burnished ware with a black and gray interior surface were recovered [Rothman-Kozbe 1997:fig.5/d; e]. |
