| It is located in Beskaris Village; southeast of Altintas District; south of Kütahya Province. It was discovered by T. Efe during a survey conducted in the region in 1991. It measures 20 m in height and 200 m in diameter. A profil of 14 m has been formed as a result of the damage caused by terracing on the western part of the mound. A spouted pitcher dating from the beginning of EBA III was recovered 2.5-3 m above the bottom of this profile which yields EBA II material while the upper part reveals materials dating from the second and first millennia BC. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. |
