| 1 km northeast of the village of Akçadere in the Kumru Province of Ordu District; is the high rocky area. To the west of this area is Ambarkayasi and to the north is the steep rocky cliff named Kusnafak Kalesi. They were separated from the bedrock because of the earthquake and landslide; and torn to pieces like islands. Pottery sherds belonging to an EBA settlement were encountered over and around Ambarkayasi; and remains of a wall constructed with mortar made of brick dust and lime were found in Kusnafak Kalesi. |
