| It is situated 2 km west of Baskimse Village, 3 km northeast of Akçasar, 1.5 km south of Mercimek Tepe settlement, 2 km south-southwest of Eyice Village, within the borders of Eyice Village of Sinanpasa District in Afyonkarahisar. People named this location Höyügün Dibi. There is a fountain 40 m northwest of the mound. The railroad is 60 m northwest-west. It was surveyed by Ö. Koçak in 2008. The height of Eyice Mound from the ground level is 19 m. The settlement is 185 m long in east-west direction, 165 m m in north-south direction. Since agricultural work is not being performed on the southwest-west-northwest sides of the mound the collected material belongs here. Various sherds dating from Late Neolithic, Early Neolithic, and Early Chalcolithic to EBA were found. Some of the Late Chalcolithic and Early Chalcolithic finds in the region are painted specimens and bear elaborate craftsmanship. These represent the richest specimens of the familiar ware previously found at Pani Höyük. Coded 308.01 [Koçak 2010:296]. A small number of potteries dated to Late Neolithic Period were found in Eyice Höyük. Intensive gritted paste of these potteries had a color range of red, brown, brownish grey and their tints. The coating is mostly brown. Painted decoration is red-brown and applied as thick bands. Surfaces are well burnished. The significant form is globular deep bowls with everted bulgy rims. There are also bucket handle samples. Analogous examples of these ceramics are known from Lakes Region, Kütahya-Eskisehir section, Western and Northwestern Anatolia, Konya Plain and Aksehir-Pelitler settlements [Koçak-Bilgin 2010:29]. |
