The collected sherds display similarities with chevron decorated wares of Mersin Yumuktepe XIX.-XVII. Levels and Ubaid-Coba wares of Sakçagözü IV a-b Levels. The settlement is placed in the 7th and 9th phases of ASPRO. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. |
