| It stands on an outcrop extending to the sea; 6 km west of Intepe (Erenköy); southwest of Çanakkale Province. It is also known as Tektop Tepe. The hill is on a sheer cliff overlooking the Dardanelles and to its east is a dry river bed. It was discovered during the Troy excavations of the Cincinnati University in 1932. J. Cook reports that Çoban Tepe is same as Tavolia named by J. Calvert. The survey yielded EBA pottery (Troy I) as well as materials of the Troy VI and Classical Periods. |
