| - Kaymakçı Tepe is a Bronze Age archaeological site overlooking Marmara Lake in Manisa Province, Turkey. Given its size and location, the settlement is considered a leading candidate for the capital city of the Seha River Land. Occupation at the site began in the Middle Bronze Age, and it became a major settlement during the Late Bronze Age. Some occupation at the site continued into the Iron Age. The site was settled continuously from 1700 BC to 1200 BC, contemporary with Troy VI and VIIa. The site has a densely occupied citadel 8 hectares in size, with an additional 17 hectares of settled area outside of it. It sits on a ridge of bedrock rising 140 meters over the lake. The site was discovered in 2001, when the Central Lydia Archaeological Survey examined the area around the Marmara Lake and identified 6 citidels, 5 unfortified lowland sites, and 23 smaller sites. The largest was at Kaymakçı. The site of Kaymakçı was then excavated in four seasons between 2014 and 2017. (en)
