Location: This site lies 3.6 km east of Çomakli Village; north of Korkuteli District; northwest of Antalya. |
Geography and Environment: This mound; which lies on a natural hillock; is 35 m high and has a 60x100 m base. The settlers must have preferred this elevated terrain. The name of the site; Eskiköy Yeri; which literally means "the site near the old village"; has been given because the old village of Çomakli used to be south of this area. In addition to erosion; the site has been destroyed by treasure hunters' trenches. West of the site; along the highway between the villages of Çomakli and Bozlar; is the Eskiköy Pinari natural spring. |
Destruction Details: The mound is being damaged due to illicit diggings. There is a rather big pit on top hill [TAYEx 25.6.2001]. |
