Description

A number of archaeological monuments preserved in the environs of Gulaplu drew the attention of the German archaeologist E. Reusler in the end of the XIX century: “I encountered three types of burials in the vicinity of the Gulaplu village: 1) Stone cyst burials, 2) dug ground burials covered by stone slabs and 3) burial mounds. We investigated 36 burials of the first type, 5 - of the second type, and 3 burial mounds. The cyst burials were situated at the foothill, in the old cemetery, which the villagers called “Gavur-kabri.. .”

Emil Reusler, Ibid. By the way, the literal translation of the Turkish toponym Gavur Gabri is the "Disbeliever's, i.e. Christian cemetery."
