| The site is in Gaziantep province; Karkamis district; Keleklioglu (Sara) Village. About 1 km southeast of Agatepe (Kirisoku Tepe); it lies on the slopes located on the north of the dry stream bed and extends towards the hill with a water tank on it. The scattered materials were more abundantly found in Ibis Ahmet Alkan's field. This field has the exact appearance of a Palaeolithic station. But the field's stones are collected and disposed in dry stream beds due to pistachio cultivation. As a result of this there is a decrease in this abundance of surface finds. This site was discovered in 2000 by a team under H. Taskiran during the project of "The Palaeolithic Survey in the Carchemish Dam Reservoir Region" coordinated by METU TAÇDAM (Center for Research and Assessment of the Historic Environment). The majority of the finds are biface tools. A total of 22 Palaeolithic tools were gathered which include 12 bifaces (handaxes) and one chopper [Taskiran 2002:417]. Code W48/47. |
