| The fields are located on both sides of the road that forks to Okçular Dam in the south of Kaynarca District of Sakarya Province. It was discovered during the survey conducted by M. Kartal and his team in 2013. It is also named as Area no.15. In the field located on the left side of the road heading to the pond, chipped stone finds belonging to Palaeolithic were found. The villagers reported that the fill of these fields, especially the one on the left side of the road, was brought somewhere else. The field is covered with a half meter of non- in situ fill. The materials found in this area in fact don't belong here. The same situation is valid for the filed on the right side of the road as well. In this field, Palaeolithic finds and a microblade core in pressure technique indicating Neolithic Period were found. It is revealed that the fill of the fields located next to the road heading to Okçular Dam is in situ. This area yielded a great number of Palaeolithic ad hoc pieces [Kartal et al. 2015:18-19]. |
