| It is located at Gedikler Mevkii; close to Hastek Village; northwest of Elazig Province. The rock shelter was discovered by K. Kökten in 1969. It was tested by soundings in 1970-1972. The bedrock was reached at 3-3.5 m. It is claimed that the cultural deposit is damp and pressurized. The bedrocks fell down as a result of earthquakes. A trench opened near the entrance yielded two levels covering pottery in 2 m depth [Kökten 1974:1]. Remains of a kiln were uncovered [Kökten 1972:1]. No information is provided about the pottery and other finds. |
| Location: The cave site is northwest of the city of Elazig; 5 km west of the town of Agin; close to the village of Yenipayam which used to be called Hastek; in the neighborhood of Gedikler along the Arapkir Stream. |
| Geography and Environment: It is located on a slope near dam reservoir and its moth faces south. The name of the rock shelter is probably local. |
