Previous Work	Need to Check the Istanbul University files for previous coverage (files weren't here the day we did the work). From Ubaid through EB is a major ocupation. Scant MB-ELB attestation and then again significant late occupation. Hell-LR 2011 10-39--local red-slipped fine ware; 10-2--; 10-4--terra sig. 10-2-l out-turned rim bowl, dark red slip local fine ware ceramic with slip, cf. Lidar, Katzenwadel, taf. 46,8

Setting	Fertile plain gardens on south and east
Site Description	Large very high and steep mound +30m, top covered with thistles, cemetery on N. face, several large cuts, Iron Age fort? Edges of mound are cut away by modern houses and soil robbing many floors, walls visible. C-14 sample taken from behind Mukhtars house. Probably one of the major sites in the region. TO refine this description, the high mound is about 100 m diam and then there is a low flat area EFC says is covered by houses and in these cuts Ubaid was found, suggesting an original site diam of nearer 160m (according to EFC) whereas Corona shows a possible extent of 1968 houses to a circle of about l=175 and width = 200. Hence the discrepancy in sizes. (11-2002)
Survey Conditions(include time spent on site)	LSD note 11-2002 -- seems there is a 4th-3rd mill occcupation and little in the way of 2nd mill (aside from poss rhyton and bichrome and plates) and rest seems later altogether. Possible river interference in ancient times (not constant - perhaps related to settlement abandonment?)
Collection Comments	Ubaid material in cut 4, also Chalcolithic, EB both plain fine, brittle orange, cooking pot; MB? but a no of possibilities, Late Bronze through Hellenistic represented. Fine bull’s head rhyton frag. in cut 4

Middle Bronze Age note	Bull's head rhyton (may have MB or LB parallels-- need further clarification)
Late Bronze Age note	Painted//From Cut 2 - possible flattish late 2nd-IA base - whiteish - draw to check.// Few suggestive forms and deep bowl or jar (KM10-25) some fine burnished (claimed by EC for EB) and several LB-IA light Chalco-style plates possible - but how to differentiate here? Bull's head rhyton (this may have MB parallels actually)
