This site lies south of Eflatunpinar; approximately 6 km west of Sadikhaci Village; north of the town of Beysehir; west-southwest of the city of Konya. It is located on the Beysehir-Sarkikaraagaç motorway where the ridges of Sülüklü overlook the Lake Beysehir. Since there are some other mounds; names unknown; in the surrounding territory; it was called Höyük C by J. Mellaart who discovered it. Sherds of EBA I and II were collected from the surface. It is mostly confused with Kusluca Cemetery discovered by Çokbanker. Particularly the eastern part of the lake should be investigated in detail. |
