| It is located in Cinis Village (Ortabahçe); south of Kandilli; 40 km west of Erzurum Province. It has been severely damaged just like all the other mounds in the Erzurum Region [Güneri 1992:pic.42-44]. Only a part of it; 8 m in height and 46x50 m in dimensions; stands still. The erection date of the enclosure wall revealed as a result of this destruction is unknown. Except EBA; pottery dating from the second and first millennia BC was collected from the surface [Güneri 1992:160]. It is poor in sherds of the Urartu Period. A well developed example of andirons with a human face was brought to the Erzurum Archaeological Museum. It must be immediately excavated. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. |
