About
Karaoğlan is located 25 km south of Ankara and on Ankara-Konya highway. Excavations in this area were done by Prof. Dr. Remzi Oğuz Arık on behalf of Turkish Historical Society. At the mound were found from bottom to the top: cultural floors from Chalcolithic, Bronze, Hittite, Phrygian, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantian periods. It is one of the most important stations in the Ankara Gölbaşı area containing Hittite and Phrygian floors. Artifacts found in this site are exhibited in the Anatolian Civilizations Museum.
