| This site lies 9 km north of the city of Nigde; south-southwest of the village of Güllüce. The site lies east of the Melendiz Mountains; which are northwest of the city center and in the western part of the Nigde Plain. The site was coincidentally discovered by Dr. Solomon-Calvi of the University of Ankara; Institute of Geology in 1938 during a geological survey of the area. It has not been determined whether the site was a temporary campsite or a permanent settlement. Obsidian microliths including a scraper and a point were found. Bittel assigns these finds to the Neolithic. |
