| The mound lies north of Balikesir; 2.5 km west of Körpeagaç village; on the bank of Gönen Çayi. This area is also known as Halkali Mevkii. It is discovered in 1989 by M. Özdogan and sherds resembling those from Kumtepe Ib are collected from around the mound. Other finds date to Late Neolithic Age and EBA 1. Code H 7 / 6. The mound was researched again during the survey performed by Yalçikli in 2010. Neolithic and Chalcolithic potsherds have been found in high quantity on the upper part and the eastern part of the hill and on the west part, EBA sherds have been exposed. A complete stone tool dating to Chalcolithic/EBA were found in the site and delivered to Bandirma Museum as inventory [Yalçıklı 2012:213]. |
