| It was discovered during the survey carried out by E. Güleç and her team in 2011. Nonlocal flints and stone tools were found on the surface of the fields located on the right and left side of the entrance of Hamidiye Village that was reached after passing Sakçagözü (Sakçagöze). Nonlocal flints are in the form of nodules in dark red color. 25 stone tools and 13 cores were discovered on the area. 19 of the stone tools are flakes and 3 of them are blades. Among the tools, there are side scrapers, denticulated and notched tools and chisels. No Levallois tools were found. Only 8 of the cores are in Levallois technique. The findings recovered from the area indicate the Middle Palaeolithic Period [Güleç et al. 2013:260, 261]. |
