It is a cave formation with seven mouths at Inbogazi Mevkii of the Cal Mountain; 1.5 km Southeast of Balikesir. They were found by K. Kökten in 1949; and they have names such as Devedami; Karanlik; Aydinlik and Andik. K. Kökten conducted an excavation in the Karanlik Cave; the largest one among all; and dated the black and brown burnished potsherds with incised decorations to the Chalcolithic; even to the Neolithic Age. It was revisited by M. Ozdogan in 1987; and listed as a settlement from the Chalcolithic; EBA and Middle Ages [Harmankaya et al. 1998].
Location: It is located 1500 m behind the village of Inönü; 6 km east of the Havran District; west of the Balikesir Province.
