| It is located about 5 km west of Tatar 1 and 2 in Üçkuyu Village in Boztepe District of Kirsehir Province. It was investigated during the survey conducted by S. Omura in 1987 and 2001. The mound was revisited by Omura in 2013. The surrounding area of the mound is being used as agricultural field. It measures 150 m in the east-west direction and 150 m in the north-south direction. It is 13 m in height. The potsherds recovered from the mound are dated to Chalcolithic, EBA, LBA and Late IA. Chalcolithic sherds are quite few in number and they are similar to the ones found in Alishar Höyük. Sherds dating to EBA are common. The potsherds show that the mound was abandoned after the 2nd millennium BC and re-inhabited during Late IA [Omura 2015:505]. |
