| It lies immediate south of Eflatunpinar, about 6 km west of the Sadikhaci Village, north of the Beysehir District, west-southwest of Konya. The ridges of Sülüklü facing the Lake Beysehir are on the road leading from Beysehir to Sarkikaraagaç. Referred as Eflatun Höyük by Solecki, it is also called Kocadere Höyük. It was named as Mound C by Mellaart due to presence of a few unknown or unnamed mounds in the vicinity. It was discovered by J. Mellaart, and sherds from the EBA I and EBA II were collected from the surface. It has been mistaken for the Kusluca Cemetery discovered by Çokbanker. Particularly the eastern bank of the lake should be re-surveyed. According to H. Bahar, material from EBA, MBA, LBA, Middle Iron Age, Hellenistic-Roman Ages were recovered. |
