Description
Local Name: Asarlık Tepesi Local Information: Nazim Burgaz was a shepherd on these mountains, he remembers seeing clay pipes to the northeast of of the settlement, bringing water to it. Latitude: 37.43.12.60 Longitude: 28.45.59.82 Elevation: 832m Dimensions: 85m by 60m Description: This small, fortified settlement sits atop a hidden knoll in the lower foothills of Baba Dağı, to the northeast of Aphrodisias. No circuit wall is immediately apparent, though the outer walls of some structures may have formed a solid barrier. The site is relatively hidden from the main part of the river valley, but has clear sight lines into the uppermost part of the valley. Walls are constructed of rough schist blocks; the site is overgrown with scrub oak and cover an area approximately 85m by 60m. ** No imported sherds were found at this site, so interpretation of the date of occupation depends entirely on local Aphrodisian ceramics. Finds include fragments of Seki Ware; LCW cooking pot rims, bowl rims, and a possible jug rim; one echinus bowl rim; several fragments with a thin red slip; one fragment of GCW; and several dinos-like storage vessel rims. Occupation could extend from the Hellenistic period through as late as the third century A.D., perhaps weighted toward the first and second centuries A.D.
