Description: Evidence of a farmstead is seen to the north of the river, just to the south of Ataeymir. Small olive grove seems to be location of farmstead, though pottery scatter stretches into tobacco field to north and wheat field to south. Small irrigation canal runs along south side of olive grove, with a number of wall blocks and a counterweight block (D164) built into it. Evidence of a wall is seen in the south scarp of the canal, and a fragment of a small, square marble basin is among blocks. A very large number of tiles found in the fields and among the blocks. Pottery collected suggest occupation dates here similar to the urban occupation period at Aphrodisias, with a predominance of later material (High Imperial to Late Roman).
Finds: Systematic pottery collection on 6/14/2008
