The village lies 6. 5 km north of Gelenbe Sub-District; Kirkagaç District; north of Manisa Province. Two Cilian idol heads; findspot unknown; were brought to the Manisa Archaeological Museum. R. Dinç compares them with the Penguen-like idol head recovered from the Yortan Cemetery. The heads bear oval-faces; ears; eyes and noses were depicted slightly projected. The nose is narrow and sharp while the eyes have an equilateral quadrangular shape. It is unknown if those two finds were recovered from a workshop like the Kulaksizlar marble workshop or any other settlement. The neighborhood of Alaagaç Village should be investigated in detail. They can be dated to the Late Chalcolithic Age-EBA I.
