| It lies 1.6 km northwest of Seydiler Village; southeast of Tefenni District of Burdur Province. A dirt road passes 150 east of the mound. The small mound has a height of 10 m and dimensions of 100x120 m. A fresh water spring named Kocapinar is located 100 m south of the mound. It is discovered by J. Mellaart and named among the Late Chalcolithic Age sites as Seyitler. Later; surveys in 1974; 1983; and 1984 are conducted by M. Özsait. Painted and monochrome sherds in Hacilar tradition dating to Late Neolithic-Early Chalcolithic Age are collected from the surface. |
| Location: It lies 1.6 km northwest of Seydiler Village; southeast of Tefenni District of Burdur Province. A dirt road passes 150 east of the mound. In some publications; it is called Seydiler Höyük. |
| Geography and Environment: The mound lies in the southwestern corner of the Tefenni Plain; which was a swamp until recently. On the northern flanks of Mount Bölükler; only 100 m south of the site; is a spring known as Kocapinar. The inhabitants of this site must have used this spring as a water source. Özsait reports that this medium-sized mound is 10 m high and 120 m east-west. Especially the western and northern flanks of the mountain have faced damage. The sides of the mound are not very steep [Özsait 1986b:fig 7]. |
