Yassıkaya Early Bronze Age Settlement
The Yassıkaya Early Bronze Age Settlement (Yassıkaya Erken Tunç Çağı Yerleşimi) is 27 km east of Ereğli, 1 km northwest from the Zoroğlu Settlement of Ramazanlı Village, and 2 km west from the Gözeren Creek. Both sides of the Gözeren Valley are surrounded by rocky cliffs. The backdrop of slopes and plains is covered by forests. The settlement is located on a wide, massive cliff at the southern end of the valley. Yassıkaya is the first prehistoric settlement to have been identified on the coastline that extends from Sinop in the east to the Kocaeli Peninsula in the west.
