| Location: The ancient city of Heraion Teichos is located at so called Karaevlialti Mevkii in the Karaevli Village on the eastern bank of the Çitlembik Brook on the Istanbul-Tekirdag motorway, 15 km east of the provincial center of Tekirdag. Previously Karaevlialti was identified with the ancient city of Mokasura [Tasliklioglu 1961:1; Tasliklioglu 1971:93]. Also referred by Herodotus [IV, 90], Heraion Teichos was a colony of Samos, and later on referred as Hiereo [Sayar 1990:214]. |
| Geography and Environment: With a field-like appearance, part of the ancient city is covered by the Olive Oil Factory of Salat, which is not active anymore. It was reported that the excavations were initiated in order to prevent any destruction immediately after the discussions about opening a LPG filling facility in the site of the factory. |
