KÜLLÜOBA EXCAVATION
Welcome to official web site of Küllüoba Excavation
Küllüoba is an oval mound measuring approximately 350 x 200 m and rising nearly ten meters above the plain. It is situated 35 km SE of Eskisehir, 15 km NE of Seyitgazi and 1.3 km south of the village of Yenikent.
The mound itself– on the northern slope of an ancient stream bed (Kireçkuyusu), now dry – is comprised almost exclusively of prehistoric deposit; all phases of the Early Bronze Age (3200-1900 BC) are represented, underlain by Late Chalcolithic (3500-3200 BC.) deposits.There are also late Hellenistic remains in the general vicinity and in the fields to the south and southwest.

The excavations on the mound started in 1996, by Prof. Turan Efe and it is still under excavation by Prof. Murat Türkteki from Bilecik Seyh Edebali University.
