| It was surveyed by T. Ökse et al. within the scope of the 2008 Ilisu Dam Construction Site Survey. Besides the Neolithic Age finds there were Chalcolithic Age, EBA, MBA and Iron Age material [Ökse et al. 2010:342]. It was surveyed within the scope of "Ilisu Dam Building Area Survey" by H. Taskiran and M. Kartal in 2008. The surface finds are denser below the Koçtepe-Koçyurdu motorway which is over this slope settlement where a spring (hagiasm) and a fountain lies west of Koçtepe Village, and 750 m northeast of Koçtepe where the fields of the village are at. The most important settlement in the area is Havuz Mevkii, where obsidian and silex material are abundant. There is less obsidien material compared to silex. Front scrapers, sickle blades, flakes and blades are the most important chipped stone tools made of both raw material. The tool parts such as cores, crested blades and core bases were generally made of flint. Chipped stone parts dated to a period after Neolithic depending on their typology. The most important finding group was Ubaid and Halaf wares. Code T64/20 [Taskiran-Kartal 2010:236-237]. |
