| It is located in Baklançakirlar Village in Çal District of Denizli Province. It was discovered during the survey conducted by F. Dedeoglu in 2013. Killikin Cave is situated on the slopes of Mount Çökelez facing to the east. It consists of four galleries. Middle Chalcolithic and IA potsherds were found in the cave. Middle Chalcolithic wares comprise bowls with everted rims and necked jars with everted rims. IA wares are red slipped monochrome vessels [Dedeoglu et al. 2015:152-153]. These pottery sherds are with painted decoration, burnished and grooved decoration. Some of these sherds are similar to the ones found in the 2A/B levels of Canhasan. There are also dark-faced vessels with coarse paste dating to Late Chalcolithic [Dedeoglu et al. 2016:555]. |
