| It lies on the southern part of the Dardanelles; 5 km west of Intepe (Erenköy); about 25 km southwest of Çanakkale Province. It stands on an outcrop extending to the sea. It is located in the end of a valley called Çiftlik. It is 50 m high above the sea level. There lies a coastal line of agricultural area in front. It was discovered by A. Akarca in 1976 during the surveys conducted in the region. Troy I style bowls burnished in gray or buff with inrolled rim and a fragment of a rim belonging to a vertical and three footed vessel of black and coarse paste were recovered. The settlement is dated to the EBA II. Also recovered is pottery of Troy IV as well as a restricted number of the Classical Period pottery. |
