Description: Local Name: Akdam Deresi Local Informant: Orhan Akarca Local Information: South of Geyre, on south side of valley, opposite Ataeymir Latitude: 37.40.28.690 Longitude: 28.44.20.723 Elevation: 617.079m Description: Farmstead site is located in a newly planted pine forest. Visibility is very low, so difficult to make out features or extent of site Counterweight block (C040) sits at western edge of farmstead. Traces of walls are seen near the counterweight block, although they seem to be too small to denote a room. Evidence of two further rooms is seen to the east. Numerous tile and pipe fragments on surface. Small room/tank/cistern (2.65m x 2.15m) seen to the north of the counterweight block. Inside of this structure are many pottery and tile fragments; it seems to have been filled in at some point. Very little pottery is found at the site, mostly body sherds TMW, making chronological arguments difficult; though most of the cookware is LCW, which implies an earlier date for the farmstead, Early Roman to High Imperial. There are also pithos fragments. Finds: Tile, pottery including sherd with wheel ridging and cook pot rim ** Systematic pottery collection on 5/25/2008
