Nekropole östlich von Pergamon und westlich von Gelenbe in der türkischen Provinz Manisa.

"Location: It lies within the territory of the Bostanli Village; south of the Gelenbe Sub-District; 16.5 km east-northeast of the Kirkagaç District of the Manisa Province and 55 km south of the Balikesir Province. To the west of it is the village of Karakurt and to the northwest Akkustepesi. ... The excavators conducted a sounding at Çavdartepe near the cemetery in order to find out the settlement of the cemetery; however no evidence was obtained. At the beginning of the 21st century; identical graves and finds uncovered in the vicinity (like Babaköy; Ovabayindir; etc.) were called as "Yortan Culture" following the excavations at Yortan cemetery. Yortan is dated to EBA I-III [Kamil 1982:52]; considered as contemporary of Troy. Hundreds of Yortan-style grave goods were sold to the museums in Turkey and in the world and to the private collectors after the excavation. They were; probably; not only from Yortan; but from some other cemeteries at Balikesir; Manisa and Usak provinces. A lot of graves were plundered by the local villagers and the treasure hunters. One of them is at Soma near Yortan. Another one destroyed during the railway construction in Balikesir was reported by K. Bittel [Bittel 1934:122 (Findspot No.17)]." - http://www.tayproject.org/TAYages.fm$Retrieve?CagNo=3286&html=ages_detail_e.html&layout=web, 30.12.2018
