| This site lies southwest of the city of Burdur; 13 km east of the town of Yesilova and 1.5 km northeast of the village of Baskuyu. This mound lies immediately west of Akpinar Stream and is bounded by Yarisli Lake to the southwest and the Irla Plain to the southeast; by the plain north of the village of Baskuyu; and by the mountains south and east of this village. It is a flat and broad mound which has been partially destroyed as a result of highway construction. The site was discovered by M. Özsait in 1982 and was named as Baskuyu Höyügü 1. It is extremely damaged because of the construction of a road. According to Özsait; painted and monochrome sherds dating to the Late Neolithic Age-Early Chalcolithic Age were collected from the surface. |
