Previous Work	Called out as Yaghma Hoyuk or Tomsuklu Hoyuk in IStabbul cards pulled by Bekir. We attributed KM 74 to that card based on the location cited and the confluence of names. But it should be noted that the data on that card is vague and could refer to the group of sites in this area as well as to this mound.

Site Description	Skirted, high mound, north side very steep on NE, less so on west and south; stone field wall on top. Top rounded square and flat=? Islamic fort? Much Iron Age observed, many stones on surface. Photo-Roll8-15,16=view from W.; 17 from high road to west over valley to Gecit Note that LDS estimated site size using Corona imagery. The tell is about the same length as KM 120 (but KM 74 is wider even) and KM 74 is larger than KM 121 (by about 50% eyeballing it). Since KM 120 is est. at .64 ha and KM 121 is est at .4ha I am estimating that .64 is at least as large as the site is (conservatively). I forced the field size calculation by putting a diameter figure of 90 (4-2002) Redone using Google earth 2.5 ha seems good.
Survey Conditions(include time spent on site)	Good but vegetation stubble, Top, Fields, Close fields+bottom 5, top ten, bottom ten, general collection.
Collection Comments	Much is unknown but there are a number of forms that look LBA and Iron should be rechecked
