| It is located in Topçu Village in Kaynarca District of Sakarya Province. It was discovered during the survey conducted by M. Kartal and his team in 2013. It is also named as Area no.10. Hayvara Mezarligi (Hayvara Cemetery) is situated about 1.5-2 km far from Karaçali Village, in the north of Dagazli Mevkii 2. Palaeolithic flint finds were found in the fields located between the cemetery and Hayvara Pinari. Flints vary in color, type and quality. The beige colored flintstone, which is abundant in the region, was used as raw material for these finds as well. There is also a broken scraper made out of qualified chalcedony (transparent). A core (showing Late Palaeolithic characteristics) and a side scraper, the end section of which is retouched, were found. Two finds, except the core, belong to Middle Palaeolithic. Middle Age wares were also seen in the area [Kartal et al. 2015:15]. |
