Devret Höyük is a small (50 x 60 x 12 m) mound on
a side terrace extending from Mt Çakırdağı to Suluova
in Amasya province. The ridge where it is located
is bordered by the shallow valleys that expand northwards on both sides. The brooks that seasonally flow through these valleys end at the Tersakan Tributary, which joins the Yeşilırmak. The mound has been destroyed substantially by the illicit excavations. During the salvage excavations we carried out with Amasya Museum in 2013, it was discovered that the mound had been a settlement with five layers. Although 17 graves were unearthed during the excavations, it was understood that together with the disintegrated graves, a total of 21 individuals had been buried. Three of them were pithos graves, while the others were simple earthen graves. One of these pithos graves (Grave MC.2) was addressed as the subject of this paper in terms of its originality and finds.
