| Destruction Details: The site of Karahöyük is destructed by agricultural and constructing activities. There is a high voltage power tower on the mound and on south-southwest skirt a farm and an apartment are situated. The east slope of the mound is cut and built a water reservoir. The upper surface is partly planted and the southwest section is being used as a field [TAYEx 25.9.2001]. There are several modern houses on the west skirts of the mound. Also, a great number of fox burrows were seen on the settlement [Ezer et al. 2015:178]. |
