| It is situated 250 m east of Düzagaç-Baskimse motorway and approximately 4 km north of Düzagaç Town of Sincanli District of Afyonkarahisar. Düzagaç-Akdegirmen Dam is immediately on the east slopes of the mound. The dam was planned for drinking water provision for Afyonkarahisar. The Ayvatli Stream (Akçasar Brook) is immediately west of the mound. It was surveyed by Ö. Koçak in 2008. The mound is flat and was built on a natural rock and a cist mass. Some of the rock masses were particularly diminished in the west and south sections. The wall foundations are observed alongside the west and south sections of the mound. The mound is 125 m long in northwest-southeast direction, 130 m in north-south direction. It is 16 m high. The mound contains primarily Chalcolithic and EBA material and also material from other periods. Many hors-shoe shaped lugs, loop/basket handles were collected. Besides these bowls crested under rims with very elaborate craftsmanship, beak-shaped spouts, pans and tripods are also very common. There are again specimens of stone tools with very elaborate craftsmanship. Coded 308.11 [Koçak 2010:292]. |
