It is located 100 m east of Isparta-Egirdir railroad, about 900 m northwest of Gölbasi Village in Gönen District of Isparta Province. It was discovered during the survey conducted by Özsait-Özsait in 2010. During the research done in the upper part of 950 m high rock hill called Çaltasi and the plain lies on its western slope, potsherds belonging to Late Neolithic and Chalcolithic settlements were found. The painted and monochrome pottery shows common characteristics with the ones found in Hacilar Level VI and obsidian and flint blades have been seen. Also, this place reflects the same features of Incirlitepe finds. On the western slope of Çaltasi, especially the area reaches towards to valley, potsherds belonging to EBA and Roman settlement have been seen [Özsait-Özsait 2012:285-286]. |
