Söğüt Tarlası / Biris Mezarlığı matters as an older PPNB research node that extends the Taş Tepeler map beyond the famous hilltop sites.

What's actually there

Current records point to older 1960s PPNB/Uruk research and a material assemblage including modeled pestles, greenstone axes, grooved smoothers, limestone cups, grinding stones, and jamb stones.

What to notice

Also known in older records as Biris Mezarlığı. Important for northern/western network extent. Older excavation and survey history needs careful modernization. Material culture includes pestles, axes, smoothers, cups, grinding stones, and jamb stones. Structure detail remains sparse compared with flagship sites.
