Yeni Bademli Höyük

Yeni Bademli Höyük, which sheds light on Gökçeada's historical past, is a region waiting to be explored with its large area of 15,600 square meters. The mound, 18 meters above the sea, is a purely archaeological dig site... An important historical site of the island! Yeni Bademli Höyük, which bears ancient traces of the region's past, points out that Gökçeada was not a rich island in the ancient times of history, and that its social life was based on low levels of trade, craft and self-sufficient agriculture. The latest findings, on the other hand, contain evidence of settlement sightings on the island even from very old dates dating back to 6500 BC. These details are important for the known history of Europe. The concentration of pots and pans, dated to the ancient Bronze Age between 3000 and 1000 BC, is also remarkable. In addition,ruins from the Hellenistic period have been found. All this information brings to light the idea that Gökçeada may have been a transit zone for maritime trade in the 2000s BC.
