| It is situated between Irmakköy and Incirli Villages in the District of Hasankeyf in Batman Province. It was discovered during the Palaeolithic Age Survey at Ilisu Dam Lake Area by H. Taskiran and M. Kartal in 2006. The scarce chipped stone specimens were usually found on the western slopes of the hill that overlook Irmakköy. The number of the chipped stones collected on the slopes is 9. Out of these specimens, 1 is a large flake covered with cortex. But the unretouched part was retouched on one side to make a bifacial tool. The cores are not of typical characteristics. There are no real specimens of Levallois. Two blades are of Clactonian type and show the features of raw crested knife. It is a findspot that weakly represents Lower and Middle Palaeolithic Age. It was coded as T63/8 [Taskiran-Kartal 2008:445-446]. |
