It locates in Bayramlar quarter of Çatalsögüt Village north of Harmanli District of Bursa. Majority of worked flints found in the fields are cortex-bearing flakes. The most important finds are levallois cores. Only one intended flake was acquired at the last phase of use on the cores that levallois technique was applied. These look like Middle Palaeolithic finds from Görükle [Dinçer 2010:5-6]. The cortex-bearing flakes and qualified cores among finds bring to mind that the place is an atelier. Although it comes in small numbers, the use of same kind of raw material shows that the communities in north and south of Uludag were visiting the same flint sources [Dinçer 2010:13].
