| It locates 100 m southeast of Bekdemir Village; east of Beysehir District of Konya Province. This site; which is also known as Rekdemir Höyük lies by the southeast corner of Beysehir Lake. It was discovered by J. Mellaart in 1952 and stated as one of the major Chalcolithic Age settlements of South Anatolia. According to Mellaart; the collected sherds resemble the Late Chalcolithic Age potsherds of Beysehir-Seydisehir and the finds of the first layer of Can Hasan Höyük. After 1954; J. Mellaart claimed that there were not any Chalcolithic Age settlements. Therefore; the mound is one of the debatable sites for the Chalcolithic Age. The site dates to the 8/9th phases in ASPRO. |
