The mound 30 m high above the bottom of the valley on the northeast and 6 m high above the ridge on the west. Late Neolithic, Early Chalcolithic, EBA and Roman finds were found on the settlement. Late Neolithic / Early Chalcolithic finds were mostly encountered on the eastern slopes of the mound facing to the village. Late Neolithic pottery show similarity with the ones in Lakes Region, Çivril Plain and Izmir; Late Chalcolithic painted pottery are similar with Lakes Region, Aslanapa and Çivril Plain wares. EBA pottery consists of brown, tile red, red, grey and cream slipped wares. Within these wares, jars, carinated bowls, loop-basket handles, horseshoe shaped lugs and tripods found in large quantity are common [Koçak 2012:246]. |
