| It is situated on a very widespread area near an obsidian seam at 1980 m altitude northwest of Küçük Göllü Mountain. It was researched during the survey performed by N. Balkan-Atli et al. in 2007. A large amount of workshop waist was observed at this location where 631 specimens were collected. The finds suggest typical workshop waste. The workshop transformed its work from unifacial retouched cores to blade production. The finds consist of essayed and discarded obsidian blocks (36 pieces), roughouts (9 pieces) and preforms (4 pieces), cores (53 pieces), cores for the preparation of flakes, roughouts and preforms (429 pieces), crested blades (4 pieces), tablets (1 piece) and blades (95 pieces). Besides these a rhyolite hammer stone was found [Balkan-Atli et al. 2009:333-334]. |
