| It lies 2-3 km east-northeast of Baslamis Village; north of Ladik district of Samsun Province. This EBA cemetery which is appearing as a coppice today is discovered by U.B. Alkim. It appears in the Samsun Culture Inventory which was achieved after the surveys organized by the Samsun Special Provincial Administration Directorship of Development and Construction in 2009. There are four rock graves in this area. The entrance of the Rock Grave I was rolled like an arch. The sides which adjacent to the rock were built in smooth shape. It has one chamber. The floor is flat and the lower section of the entrance has been damaged. The Rock Grave II is located opposite of the Rock Grave I and it is situated on the front side of a steeper rock. The Rock Grave III is situated on the same rock as well. But it is located on the woody area at the back. It has a very small, rectangular shaped entrance with arch. This entrance is encircled by a second arch which looks like a pediment. It has one chamber and its kline has been entirely damaged. The Rock Grave IV is located on the southeast of the Rock Grave I and it lies on the rocky section of the small hill on the southwest of the rock graves II and III. The entrance of the grave has been completely damaged. Although it has been damaged, it is clear that it has an entrance with arch. Inner section of this single chambered grave has been destructed and no traces belonging to kline were left. It couldn't be identified which period these graves belong to. |
