| It is situated in the Iskenderun Gulf of Hatay. It was investigated by G. Lehmann et al. in 2006. It was dated to Roman and Byzantine periods [Lehmann et al. 2008:176]. Beach area partly built over by the modern hotel. Visibility was good on the beach; otherwise the site is completely built over by modern constructions. Today the site is flat with a concentration of pottery and roof tiles in the alluvial soil. The ruins are exposed in a cut that is covered by 40-50 cm of alluvial soil. There is a long wall-like construction viisble in the sea that runs parallel to the beach. The latter is constructed of stones; mortar and pottery inclusions [Lehmann et al. 2008:176-177]. |
