| Location: Devret Höyük is located 40 km northwest of the city center of Amasya, 28 km southeast of Merzifon District, 13 km south of Suluova District and situated in Devret Mevkii that is 2 km northeast of Kanatpinar (Gödelez) Village [Türker 2015:363]. |
| Geography and Environment: Devret Höyük is situated on the ridge that begins from the metamorphic debris of Çakirdag formed with sedimentary and schist rocks extending in the east-west direction and continues towards Suluova Plain. The ridge descends from south to north in the form of natural terraces and there are two valleys enlarging towards the north on both side of the ridge [Türker 2015:363]. |
| Destruction Details: The settlement has been severely damaged by illicit diggings. Its skirts are being cultivated [TAYEx 23.8.2003]. A destruction cut, which cuts the mound in the east-west direction, with a length of 33 m was formed. A tunnel was dug through the east section of the mound and the lower sections of the mound have been heavily collapsed and damaged. In addition, 7 illicit digging pits were seen on the north slope of the mound and there are also 5 illicit digging pits on the west and south sections [Türker 2015:364]. |
