| Location: This open-air site is located in Istanbul; on the Asian side; east and northeast of the district of Ümraniye; in the district of Dudullu Köyü. The site collectively includes 13 artifact scatters on the ridge between the Büyük Göksu and the Küçük Göksu Streams. The site has been completely destroyed by the recent growth of the city. The name of the site should include the village of Dudullu and be "Göksu-Dudullu" but because of the site's proximity to the Göksu Stream; "Göksu" alone has been sufficient. Its survey code is D 13 / 1-13. |
| Geography and Environment: The tools collected by Jelinek and crew were found in a valley flank within a yellow; iron-nodule-rich stratum which was in a thicker reddish layer. The red layer can be found in the hilly higher terrain around Ümraniye and north of Dudullu which indicates that the layer must have extended over a wide area before the various rivers and changing streams eroded much of it. Because there are so few artifacts; it is not certain whether this site was a habitation site or atelier. Two of the 13 artifact scatters are reported to be related. |
