| The mound is located on north bank of Kaynarca Stream; west-northwest of Güzelyurt Town; south of Hekimhan District of Malatya. North of the mound is cemetery and 1 km east is Hasartepe settlement. It is 3 m high; small mound with a diameter of 50 m. It was discovered by C.A. Burney in 1956. The Chalcolithic Age pottery from the surface of the mound consists of import Halaf ware; local Halaf ware and paint decorated Ubaid pottery. The few import Halaf ware sherds are of pinkish-buff and plain buff wares and are red or orange-red painted on both surfaces [Burney 1958;fig.3-5]. The settlement dates to 7-9th phases in ASPRO [Hours et al. 1994:219]. |
