| It was discovered during the survey conducted by E. Güleç and her team in 2011. It is located between Nahirtepe and Dogrular villages in the south of Nizip District in Gaziantep Province. The fields around the village yielded 6 stone tools and 4 handaxes. Among the stone tools, 1 flake, 1 Levallois flake, 2 blades and 2 eclat debordant (core edge flake) were defined. 2 of the handaxes are in almond shape, 1 of them is circular and the other one is amorphous. It was suggested that the Lower Palaeolithic findings were made with Acheulian technique [Güleç et al. 2013:261, 262]. |
