| It is located in the north of Yeniköy Village in Merkez District of Bilecik Province. It is situated on the northern slope of the natural hill and extends towards the field in the south. It was discovered during the survey conducted by T. Efe in 2013. The settlement is accessible through the earth road on the left of the bridge located at the entrance of the village, on Bilecik-Sögüt motorway. The skirts of the natural hill cover an area of 100x110 m in dimension. EBA II, EBA III and 2nd millennium BC materials were seen on the surface. Red slipped and burnished wares known from the other settlements in the region were found in this area as well. Black topped bowl fragment with worm-like relief decoration is noteworthy. This sherd is mica tempered in high density and it differs from Demircihöyük specimens in terms of industry. EBA II-III wares and pithos sherds with horizontal band relief belonging to the 2nd millennium BC were found in the plain area in the south of the natural hill [Efe et al. 2015:499]. |
