| It is situated southwest of the spring named Direk Pinari 1 km southwest of Kütüklü Village of Besiri District in Batman Province. It was researched within the scope of the "Palaeolithic Age Survey at the Ilisu Dam Reservoir Area" performed by H. Taskiran and M. Kartal in 2007. Chipped flintstone fragments were found infrequently on the hill and slightly descending slopes of the hill. Three of the finds are cores 9 are flakes and blades. One of the cores is a typical levallois core. Again one of these is a core flake which has a cortex on the rear surface and a hand grip. Another one is a completely decortified levallois core, which obviously could not be formed as wanted in the technical sense. Jagged and denticulated tools and side scrapers were found in addition to flakes and blades. The group of finds reflects Mid Palaeolithic period based on its technology. (code: S62/31) [Taskiran-Kartal 2009:399]. |
