| It is located 300 m west of Develi-Yahyali road; in the South Asagi Quarter of Develi center. It was researched within the scope of "Adana(Ceyhan); and Kayseri (Develi) Surveys" performed by S. Girginer et al. in 2005. Its present height is 4 m; and has a diameter of 150 m. It is also known as Bilecbaglari. In addition to the pottery there is a terra cotta pedestal; a spouted pitcher cut through its cross-section; and a stone axe miniature [Girginer 2007:184]. During the researches it was observed; that an excavator hired by a factory removed soil from the top of the mound and transported it to a location in Aygözme. Operations were started in order to flatten the rest of the mound; but upon the application of the team this destruction was stopped by the Directorate of the Committee for the Protection Cultural and Natural Resources's decision dated 500; on 06.04.2006 [Girginer 2007: 184; footnote 31]. |
