| It locates in Argithani Sub-district; west of Ilgin District of Konya Province. There are houses and a mosque on the mound. It has been discovered by D. French and dated to EBA. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. It was visited during the survey performed by Harmansah-Johnson in 2012. Although in small quantity, red slipped, burnished EBA wares were encountered. Despite lack of diagnostic sherds, the abundance of grey ware indicates the existence of IA period in the settlement. Hellenistic and Roman finds were collected as well as a few sherds and a roof tile belonging to Ottoman Period or early 20th century. |
