| It is located west of the village of Özbey; 3 km north of the ancient city of Metropolis; south of Izmir Province. It lies to the immediate west of the brook it was named after. The mound expands onto an area of 60x150 m in the northeast-southwest direction [Tuna 1988: 304-305]. Situated around Metropolis in the Izmir-Ephesus passage extending from north to south, the mound has a strategical location overlooking the Küçük Menderes Plain, the Kolophon region and the Karabel Strait. Presence of a settlement from the 6th century BC was identified [Meriç 2003:37]. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. |
