It is close to Üyücek Village; 4 km east of Vezirhan; 1.5 km north of the Gölpazari-Vezirhan motorway. It was discovered by K. Kökten in 1948; and also investigated by T. Efe who conducted a survey in the region in 1990. It was registered under the name of Medetli Höyük by the Eskisehir Archaeological Museum. Materials of the EBA III and the Classical Period were collected from the surface. The western part of the mound has been severely damaged. It was visited during the survey conducted by T. Efe in 2013. In Efe's report, it was mentioned as Üyük. The mound is 9.5 m high from the plain. The fields in the east yielded EBA II and III wares. Potsherds belonging to the 2nd millennium BC were found in the fields in the south and east [Efe et al. 2015:500]. |
