| It is located about 300 m west of Kuyubasi 1; which lies 1.5 km south of the village of Kuyubasi in the Merkez district of the province of Batman. It was discovered in 2001 by a team leaded by H. Taskiran during the project of "The Palaeolithic Survey in the Ilisu Dam Reservoir Region". A small number of Acheuleen biface tools were found. Most of the Levallois cores are not typical. Numerous flakes and blades were encountered. The site has also yielded one chopping tool; notched tools; nibbled tools; stone perforators of various types; one typical Levallois point and side scrapers. They partly have Lower Palaeolithic; but mostly Middle Palaeolithic characteristics. This variety may indicate that this findspot was a Palaeolithic station. Code S61/32. |
