| This site lies 30 km northeast of the city of Adana; along the Adana-Kozan highway (on the western side of the road). On a map the mound can be seen immediately south of the village of Imamoglu. It is a small; round mound approximately 7 m in height. It is partially cut by a tributary of the Çeperçe Stream. The mound was discovered by J. Garstang in 1936 and researched by Seton-Williams in 1951. In addition to Early Bronze Age; Hellenistic and Byzantine finds; the mound also appears to possibly have a Late Neolithic-Early Chalcolithic settlement. The Neolithic ware is reported to have similarities with Yumuktepe ware. Although placed in phase 6 in ASPRO; it is difficult to assign this site to the Neolithic. Seton-Williams does not mention any pre-Halafian finds. |
