Toygartepe/Hamidiye
(Aydin/Nazilli/Hamidiye)


An Early Bronze Age mound which once probably contained a tumulus. The Eastern slope is razed parallel to the road and a drainage canal runs through it. A forty-meter treasure-hunting crevice runs northeast - southwest. It is said that this was done legally under Gendarme observation and using a bulldozer. There is an even deeper pit within this crevice, apparently dug illegally later on.
