| It lies in the middle of a bay which can not be seen from the open sea. It is very close to the shore; 3 km west of Gömeç (Armudova) District between Ayvalik and Burhaniye; west-southwest of Balikesir Province. It is suggested that the site was a small peninsula during the period it was first inhabited. The western and southern slopes have been destroyed by the summer houses. A farm house called Trikopi rises on it. It was introduced as a second millennium BC settlement by D.H. French. Sherds datable to a range from the Chalcolithic Age to the Early Byzantine Period were collected from the surface by E. Beksaç; an art historian in 1997. |
