| It has been occupied by the houses of Baldiran Village; 11 km southeast of Kirkhan District of Hatay Province. There are remains of small villages dating back to the third millennium BC; the Roman Period and Middle Age. It was discovered by R. Braidwood in 1935. It is a big and high mound. The extent of the damage resulted from the heavy cultivation in the Amuq Plain is unknown. At present; it has been obscured by a modern settlement. Probably; the well spring next to foothill surrounded by a fertile land played a major role for occupying this site. |
