| Location: This site lies east of the city of Çanakkale; 8 km west of the city of Çan and 1 km south of the village of Karliköy; between the village and the village road. The survey code of the site is H 4 / 1. |
| Geography and Environment: The site was discovered during the careful foot-survey conducted in the region on the Kocadere and Karlidere terraces; in the region of the Karliköy and Ilyasaga farms; north of the Çan Plain. Chipped stone tool finds were scattered in the 10.000x500 m region surveyed along the stream. The survey indicated that the left bank of Karlidere Stream yielded a concentration of finds in a 300x200 m area known as Çalca Mevkii [Özdogan 1990b:447-449]. West of this; on the lower terrace; several chipped stone cores; core fragments and debitage products were found. In his 1991 article; however;Özdogan notes that the area that yielded ceramic finds is only 30x40 m in size [Özdogan 1991:347]. Özdogan notes that the site of Çalca Mevkii was a temporary habitation area and not a long term settlement [Özdogan 1990a]. The region must have had some desirable resources such as raw materials or water sources. |
