| It lies to the north of the Güzelbeyli Village; southeast of the Karacasu District of the Aydin Province. The excavation activities carried out on behalf of the General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums were performed by a team of the Aphrodisias Excavation group in 1968. The sounding on the tumulus yielded a dromos topped by flat plates. Also found are potsherds and a deep bowl from the Late Hellenistic-Roman Periods. The excavation was ended before reaching to the grave chamber [Atasoy 1974:356-357]. |
