| It lies about 2 km north of the Can-Biga motorway, east of the Çan District in Çanakkale. A survey was conducted in the region by N. Arslan et al. of the Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University in 2002. The survey revealed 25 m long foundation remains made of cutstones in the Altikulaç Village. The wall was erected as dry stone wall of ca. 0.75-1 m cutstones, superimposed on each other with step-like profiles. Based on the wall thickness, it can be considered as remains of a building belonging to the ruling class rather than a fortification. The masonry is comparable with the masonry of the Classical Age [Arslan 2004:119-120]. |
