It was discovered in 1949 by K. Kökten. Presence of a flat settlement is reported. It probably belongs to the Yortan Culture. No further information is provided about Alakir. Further investigation is necessary. It has not been clearly indicated whether the flat settlement dates from the EBA or not. |
