| It is located in the east bank of Göksu Creek, about 3 km west of Külafhüyük Village in Merkez District in Adiyaman Province. It was discovered during the survey conducted by S. Ezer in 2013. The surface of the mound is covered with numerous large and small pebbles and stones. City wall remnants belonging to later periods were seen in the north and west sections. The majority of potsherds found in the mound are date to the 1st millennium BC and afterwards. The column fragments and the terra sigillata sherd recovered from the surface and the western skirts indicate that the mound was inhabited during Roman Period as well. The data about the late period suggests that the area was used as a post [Ezer et al. 2015:179]. |
