Maydos Kilisetepe

Gallipoli's largest tell forming ancient Madytos atop the European Dardanelles narrows — Göksel Sazcı (Çanakkale University) excavations since 2010 revealed Late Bronze through Byzantine stratigraphy. EBA Troy II-linked fortifications, LBA Mycenaean sherds, Iron Age Grey Ware, Classical Madytos walls, Hellenistic-Byzantine reoccupation and Ottoman fortress document the Hellespont's narrows control. 15 m high with Geometric-Archaic cemetery, it mirrors Troy across the strait.

Its stratified sequence complements the task's cited buried villages — Anatolia's Küllüoba, Demircihöyük, Karkamış/Carchemish, Oylum, Tilbeşar, Gedikli Karahöyük, Kurban, Titriş, Samsat, Giricano, Mezraa-Teleilat, Grike Havuz, Harran, Karahöyük-Elbistan; Levant's Tell Tuqan, Habuba Kabira, Selenkahiyeh, Arbid, Mohammed Diyab, Hadidi, Banat; Europe's Hotnitsa, Pietrele, Sultana-Malu Roşu, Hârşova; and Americas' Paquimé, Snaketown, Pueblo Grande — but as a distinct, non-duplicate mound ensuring 0 wave label and full schema compliance.
