| It is located 4 km northeast of Kizilyusuf Village, 10 km south of Adaksu Village, 30 km south of Malazgirt District of Mus Province. It was discovered during the survey performed by Biber and his team in 2010. The structures and the graves located on the northwest sections of Süphan Mountain and spreaded over a wide area were found. The volcanic rocks obtained from Süphan Mountain were used for the construction of the structures and graves. There are some structures side by side with the graves in the site. Although the number of rooms varies, the structures are generally in rectangular plan. Potsherds belonging to IA and Middle Age were recovered on the surface. The graves have been partially destroyed. One of them was built by using the rock cavity and the others built by brick-laying. The graves bear the characteristics of Early IA in terms of their plan and craftsmanship. Potsherds belonging to IA were collected from the surface [Biber et al. 2012:386-387]. |
