It was discovered during the survey conducted by A. Türker and his team in 2015. A large number of EBA pottery were collected from the northernmost section of the slope and from the top. Potsherds dating to Hellenistic (?) and Roman periods, and Byzantine/Turkish-Islamic periods were found on the west ridge of the hill and the remaining part of the slope. The local people stated that there are graves in this area. The researchers have found burial pits and broken tiles as well [Türker 2017:398]. |
