Description
Local Name: Karabuçuk Duzu, Güzelbeyli
Local Information: An ancient farmstead is located in modern tobacco fields just to the northwest of Güzelbeyli. The site is a plowed field with high visibility.
Latitude: 37.42.43.26
Longitude: 28.40.16.32
Elevation: 452m
Dimensions: Mound is approximately approximately 100 m by 100 m
Description: When the site was first visited in 2005, two walls were seen; no walls are evident now however (2008), probably destroyed by further plowing of the field. Four mounds of piled-up field stones are visible on the southern edge of the field, one of which contains a counterweight block (A121). The area of the farmstead is raised above the surrounding fields, and a large amount of tile and pottery is seen, especially along the north edge of the field. The pottery ranges in date from Hellenistic (echinus bowl rims) to Late Antique (African Red Slip rim), implying that the site was occupied for a long period.
Finds: White marble revetment fragments ** Systematic pottery collection on 5/29/2008
