| It is situated on the east skirt of Arap Mountain, which arises on the west of the road from Isparta to Bozanönü Village of Isparta. It was found during the survey performed by M. Özsait et al. in 2008. The rock grave was built by carving a monoblock rock mass, it has an elaborate craftsmanship. The grave opening overlooks southeast direction. The inside is filled with soil therefore the presence of a kline is uncertain [Özsait 2010:421]. During the survey carried out by Özsait and his team in 2012, a second rock-cut tomb was discovered on the northeast slope and skirts of Mount Arap. A vessel type burial carved into bedrock was found near this rock-cut tomb. It was suggested that this area could be a large necropolis [Özsait et al. 2014:229]. |
