| This site is 1,250 m South of Çaygeldi Village of Bulanık Suburb of Muş City. It is documented during the survey carried out by Biber- Çavuşoğlu in 2009. The site is made of hundreds of graves starting from approximately 250 m West of Çaygeldi Mound and covering a wide field including Ziyaret Hill in the North and Kindo, Kurtik and Küçük Kurtik Localities in the South. It is located on a central point with an approximate altitude of 1,825 m. The stones observed in the illicit pits show that the graves were constructed mostly by laying stones. Hundreds of pottery scattered around the graves in Kindo Locality show that this is mostly a 2nd Millennium BC cemetery. Pottery pieces captured in the graves of Ziyaret Hill are mostly from 1st Millennium BC [Biber-Çavuşoğlu 2011: 207-208]. |
