| The mound; located at the center of a narrow valley; lies in Degirmenözü Mevkii of Gökler Village; 5 km northeast of Ortaköy District of Aksaray Province. It was visited by I. Todd in 1996; by S. Omura in 1990. According to them; the ceramics and the dominant obsidians date to the NA and EBA (Harmankaya et al. 1997:Degirmenözü]. On the contrary; Summers [Summers 1993:30] claims that Degirmenözü is one of the Chalcolithic Age settlements of Central Anatolia. |
