dc.descriptionLocal Information: Selahattin told us that a lot of reused ancient blocks came from this area. Local farmer Özcen Çevik showed us remains of a petit appareil wall in robber's pit to north of settlement. The work there seemed fairly recent, and extensive and at least 9 blocks had been unearthed. He also said that there were no more remains that he knew of in the area.en_US

dc.descriptionDescription: This expansive settlement covers an area approximately 100 m by 200 m. It is located on the south side of the valley, just outside the village of Çamarası. The settlement has been partially destroyed on the north and east sides by the construction of fields and by a farmer's path, which runs north–south through the center of the site. The site is heavily overgrown with scrub oak, leading to no visibility in certain parts, though numerous walls can be discerned. The walls are built of limestone blocks and fields tones, with an average thickness of 0.69 m, and mounds and depressions provide evidence for individual rooms. Press and mill elements (D180) at the site include a counterweight block, which was revealed in a robber's pit and is probably in situ, a fragment of a crushing basin, and a grinding stone broken in two. A large amount of pottery and tile was seen where visibility permitted, and a modern field to the west was particularly rich in pottery fragments. The pottery cannot be narrowly dated; the majority is the local TMW that was produced throughout the Roman period. Some fragments of the earlier LCW were also seen, suggesting an occupation that began at least in the earlier Roman period.en_US
