| This site is approximately 4 km Southwest of Pazarcık Suburb Centre of Kahramanmaraş City, which is transformed into an island today in Kartalkaya Water Reservoir. The site is important for its location and findings. It is documented during the survey carried out by Konyar in 2009. The mound is on a rock bed and as the water levels drop it became more visible. A defence wall surrounds the elevated area in the West of the mound made of large and processed stones. And remains of square and rectangular planned foundations of stone which are possibly contemporary with the wall are observed. Intense EBA, orange-reddish slipped samples are collected from the mound. And pulled out rimmed, short necked, puffed belied pieces of vessels with bases are worth to be noted. Also painted pieces are found from 2nd Millennium BC [Konyar 2011: 265]. |
