The settlement is on a natural hill in the middle of a watery plain 500 m south of Ziyaret Tepesi. The name of the settlement is derived from the name of the hill it is on. Intense illicit digging is observed. From the surface; Late Chalcolithic Age; EBA; and 1st Millennium BC painted Phrygian sherds are collected by M. Özsait; who has discovered the site in 1990. |
