| It is located in the plain southeast of Isikli Lake; in the Çivril District of Denizli Province. It was researched along with Çandir Höyük; Çandir Büyük Höyük and Çandir Küçük Höyük on the southeast side of the Isikli Lake; and Domuz Höyük on the west side of the Isikli Lake; within the scope of "Çivril Plain Survey" performed by E. Abay; and F. Dedeoglu in 2005. The settlements described as single color; and multi color "Hacilar Boyalilari" have a size no larger than 1-2 hectare; and accumulate mostly at river; and lake shores; and show a scattered sight. All those characteristics prove there were no hierarchical structuring among the Neolithic-Early Chalcolithic Age settlements (Abay-Dedeoglu 2007:278). The pottery of this period revealed during these surveys are known based on the Hacilar; Kuruçay; Bademagaci; settlements in Göller Bölgesi; and the layers that are dating to Late Neolithic; and Early Chalcolithic Age of Izmir Ulucak Höyük. The good quality hand-made red coated pottery consist mostly of "S" profile vessels; deep bowls; small jars; and bowls [Abay-Dedeoglu 2007:279]. |
