Ilya'nin Yeri consists of two mounds; one 100x50x5 m in dimensions and the other in 70x40x3 m. It was discovered in 1987 during the Sinop Survey conducted by M.A. Isin. Materials of the Roman and Hellenistic Periods; the EBA and the Late Chalcolithic Age were collected from the surface. The EBA pottery is very rare. They have a gray and beige paste tempered with seashell and burnished. Bowl and dish forms were uncovered; some of them having bands decorated by reliefs on the rims.
