| Location: This site lies northwest of the city of Isparta; and southeast of the town of Keçiborlu. It is west of the Isparta-Burdur highway. |
| Geography and Environment: A 30x100 m area on the southern terrace of the Incirlikaya Rock outcrop; which faces the plain at the northern tip of Burdur Lake; yielded ceramics and other finds. The site has been called Incirlitepe after the local name for the place. Özsait has referred to the site as Incirli I; to avoid confusion with the nearby site of Incirli. Although the site faced much natural destruction and erosion in 1983; a thin layer of cultural material deposit still remains. The spring immediately beneath the rock-outcrop on which the site lies; must have served as a water source for the early settlers at this site. |
| Destruction Details: The mound has been damaged due to agricultural activities. It is completely plowned [TAYEx 30.6.2001]. |
