| It lies on the plain it was named after; 12 km northwest of Ladik District; southwest of Samsun Province. It is located 600 m north of the Tersakan stream; immediately east of the Ladik-Istasyon Tepe road. The slopes of the hill are seriously destructed by leveling due to agriculture. The area is locally known as Taslipara Mevkii. It was discovered by K. Kökten; N. Özgüç and T. Özgüç who conducted surveys in the region in 1940-41. Sherds identical to EBA pottery of Alacahöyük and Dündartepe were collected. It was re-visited by a team under U.B. Alkim for surface collection. According to them; pottery of the third millennium BC was recovered. During M. Özsait's research in 2001; ceramics dating to 2nd and 3rd millennia; Iron Age and Byzantine Period were collected. |
