| Location: It lies on both sides of the motorway running from Ankara to the northeast between the Kalaba and Solfasol villages; about 5 km north-northeast of the Ankara Province. The name "Etiyokusu" was probably given by the excavation team. It was renown not by the EBA finds; but by the finds of Palaeolithic Age recovered from the sections of Çubuksuyu next to it (For details see Harmankaya-Tanindi 1997:Etiyokusu). The findspot is almost obscured by the modern settlement. |
| Geography and Environment: It is a very flat; oval mound. It is 1.5 m high; 86 m long in the north-south direction and 22.5 m long in the east-west direction [Kansu 1940:6]. The settlement is reported to measure ca. 6110 square meters. The mound stands on a deposit of pebbles-sand (gravel) formed by the Çubuk Suyu thousand years ago where the river bends. It was divided into two by the asphalt road; and severely destroyed before the excavation for removal of pebbles and sand to be used at constructions. The inhabitants probably supplied their water from the Çubuk Suyu. Presence of a fresh water spring is not reported. |
