These sites are heavily destructed due to agricultural activities except one them. The mound hich is untouched and has an evident cone investigated by E. Abay and F. Dededoğlu during 2003 season survey. White color painted red burnished potsherds of Early Chalcolithic and pottery resembling Beycesultan EBA and MBA layers are found. There is a flat faced human figurine and an incised single cone spindle whorl; both dated to EBA; among the clay finds.
