| It lies 2 km to the south of the motorway between Hamam and Kirikhan, 8.5 km northwest of the Hamam Subdistrict as the crow flies, southeast of the Kirikhan District, northeast of Antakya, the city center of Hatay. Surrounded by fertile fields, it can be dated to the Chalcolithic Age based on the sherds collected from the surface. Also found are sherds from the Early Bronze, Late Bronze and Iron Ages and the Hellenistic-Roman Periods [Braidwood 1937:24]. |
