| Location: This site is 3 km northwest of the town of Tavsanli; northwest of the city of Kütahya and west of the village of Beyköy. It lies on a rocky outcrop on the flat area north of it; at the foot of the northern flanks of Mount Manastirtepe; west of the Tavsanli-Domaniç highway. |
| Geography and Environment: The village of Beyköy lies in the flat Tavsanli Plateau along a chain of low mountains oriented southeast-northwest. The find spot is locally known as Asar Tepe. |
| History: |
| Research and Excavation: Turan Efe found a variety of chipped stone tools during his 1988 surface survey in this area. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. |
| Stratigraphy: |
| Small Finds: The tools collected by Efe are slightly rougher and have thicker patinas than other tools from this area. The sharp edges of these tools; which have been assigned to the Lower Palaeolithic; have been abraded indicating that the artifacts were carried to their find locations by natural processes. |
