It is possible that the Adatepe settlement investigated by J. Mellaart is actually Mürseller. It stands on a natural hill. It measures 250x150 m in dimensions. There is a stream bed joining to the Bademlidere through the northewestern foothill. Red washed or dark gray colored; incision decorated EBA pottery was collected from the surface as well as pottery dating from the Early Chalcolithic Age. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
