| The mound lies southwest of Adiyaman and 3 km south-southwest of Yoldüzü (Mirhitli/Mirtikil) Village. It is 75 m in diameter; 20 m in height; and is discovered by C.A. Burney in 1957. Other than the EBA and later finds on the surface; probable Chalcolithic Age sherds are reported to be existent [Russell 1980:138]; and yet the issue stays debatable. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. |
