| It lies in Güzelyurt (Karahöyük) Village; south-southwest of Adiyaman and 1 km east of Hasankendi village. It is a mound in height of 20 m and in diameter of 125 m. It was discovered by C.A. Burney in 1956. H.F. Russell claims that the collected sherds from the surface date to the Halaf Period. In addition; sherds of chaff-faced ware date to the Late Chalcolithic Age. The site was researched again during the Adiyaman Survey conducted by S.R. Blaylock; D.H. French and G.D. Summers during 1985-88. Only one Halafian sherd was found [Blaylock et al. 1990:fig.7/4]. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The mound was visited during the survey conducted by S. Ezer and his team in 2013. Along with the pot sherds dating to 4th millennium BC, 2nd and 3rd millennium BC pot sherds were seen on the settlement [Ezer et al. 2015:178]. |
