This area is locally known as Kum Mevkii or Kum Tarlasi. It was discovered by J. Stewart in 1938; and then investigated by D.H. French and M. Özdogan. EBA and Antique Age materials were collected from the surface. Gray; black; brown and reddish brown; burnished and sometimes washed EBA pottery was recovered.
