Local Landmarks Big natural mound near olive groves close to river just west of town, large power line tower marks the sw corner of the site on top, village of Pinarbası down below
Setting Reddish soil with lots of plowed field stones.
Site Description Some exploratory trenches seem to have been dug close to the power pole. There may have been 2 or three houses up here because of modern roof tile remains. Extensive rather than deep site for look-out. One modern excavation showed 1/5 to 2m of deposit--soil above rock, white lens earth below and then white again, collapse above. Possibly stone foundations with vaulted baked brick superstructures.
Survey Conditions(include time spent on site) Good except for wheat on se flank may obscure site extension, lots of roof tiles, some burnt brick within plaster matrix.
Collection Comments Heavy, hard fired grey ware and handles, interesting exterior ledge rim jar sherds one of which has elaborate decoration of finger impressed bands on ledge and a band and groove on rim, also tall necked jar with grooving on neck of interest
