data access 96055
  • Two other fortresses defended the city; they are something over a mile away (from Yaz Tepe) by the hamlet of Köşk, and are called respectively Asar and Kale. Their walls of dry rubble are surprisingly thick, as much as 12 and 15 feet, but are nowhere preserved to a height of more than 5 feet.  1
