Description: Local Name: Işıklar Köyü Latitude: 37.42.03.90 Longitude: 28.42.23.61 Elevation: 505.21m Description: A farmstead is found in hills above Işıklar village. A modern farm there is terraced with wheat and olive trees, two fields of each. Tile and pottery remains found all over the slope. Two counterweight blocks (A036) are on the second and fourth terraces. No evidence of walls is seen at the site, but at base of the hill is a place where schist appears to have been quarried, and probably ancient schist wall blocks are used in the modern field walls. This site offers a good vantage point over the valley. The pottery indicates an early date for the settlement; finds include a molded bowl fragment, an echinus bowl rim, and LCW fragments. There is also a column fragment found at bottom of slope, made from white and blue breccia. Finds: Systematic pottery collection on 5/30/2008
