| History: |
| Research and Excavation: The channel was discovered during the survey performed by O. Belli in 2011. |
| Stratigraphy: |
| Small Finds: Hadimli Channel was built by blocking the narrow valley, where Karacaören Creek originating from the skirts of Sinek Plateau runs swiftly towards the east, with stones and transferring some parts of the creek water to the channel dug into the soil. The channel carries water towards the north and it is approx. 80-90 m in width and 60-70 cm in depth. Today, Hadimli Channel provides water to the agricultural areas and fruit gardens extending towards Hadimli Village on the north. The channel was built in the second half of 7th century BC like the other irrigation facilities in the vicinity. |
