| The mound is located southwest of Burdur; 1.5 km northwest of Yakalar village. It lies in the middle of the fertile plain between Bozçay; Yürüktepe; and Esenli Tepe. The 14 m high mound with a diameter of 200x300 m is named by M. Özsait who has surveyed it in 1983. It is claimed that there is a Chalcolithic Age settlement on the mound depending on the red coated; burnished sherds in Hacilar tradition. Besides; abundant EBA sherds hint a settlement from this horizon; too. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. |
