This site is in Elmakaya County of Bulanık Suburb of Muş City. It is documented during the survey carried out by Biber-Çavuşoğlu in 2009. The site covers a vast area on the slopes that surrounds Gurgura fortress in four directions, between Gurgura Fortress and Gürleyen Creek in the South and in the West. Based on analysis of the many pieces of pottery found on the surface it is apparent that the site is inhabited during MBA and IA [Biber-Çavuşoğlu 2011: 209]. |
