| 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. The richness is also observed in EBA finds. Many specimens in grey/black to lighter tones were revealed. A similar variety is observed in forms. Bowls with crests below their rims, jars, pans, beak-spouted jugs, string hole knobs and tripod sherds are observed. Besides these there are also many stone axe fragments and stone tools.
