| The site lies west-northwest of Amasya; 2 km south of Kulu village; right in the middle of the triangle of Eraslan; Kapanci; and Kulu villages. It is located on the southeastern slope of Yogurtçubaba hill. It is discovered by M. Özsait; in 1987. Besides the sherds hinting an EBA settlement; a few sherds with knobbed decoration on rim which probably date back to Chalcolithic Age are recovered. It is one of the sites; on which the existence of a Chalcolithic Age settlement is dubious. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. |
