| Location: This site lies in the province of Kütahya; northwest of the city; 2 km; as the crow flies; southeast of the town of Domaniç; west of Kocahöyük Tepe and the village of Çakilköy. |
| Geography and Environment: The western fields the site lie on are very close to the large Kocahöyük mound. There is a small stream flowing by this habitation site. The finds are scattered in an area with a radius of approximately 300 m. |
| History: |
| Research and Excavation: The site was discovered by Turan Efe during his 1988 survey of the region. |
| Stratigraphy: |
| Small Finds: The artifacts include chopping tools; biface handaxes and rough flakes mostly without retouching; which have been assigned to the Lower Palaeolithic by Efe. The scratch marks on the tools; visible in the published photos; indicate that they were transported to this location by natural processes [Efe 1990:406; fig.4-5]. |
