| It is close to Asvan Village of Balibey Sub-District; northwest of Elazig Province. It was discovered in 1967 by R. Whallon and S. Kantman. It is coded under N 52 / 9. It is reported to be a small; flat and low mound. It measures 80x60x1.5-2 m. Vast majority of the pottery dates from the Late Chalcolithic Age; the EBA I-II and the Hittite Period. Limited number of EBA III material was found on the surface. |
| Location: The site used to lie approximately 750 m east of Asvan Village of Elazig; near a small valley before the construction of Keban Dam. It is completely vanished in the present day. The location code of the site is N 52 / 9. |
| Geography and Environment: Small and low mound; also called Köyüstü [Whallon Ğ Kantman 1970:4]; is located near a wooded valley. It was damaged by erosion; irrigation channels; and a stream at the east. Although the dimensions of the mound are 100x80x3 m [French et al. 1972:45 - 46]; this cannot be the exact measurement because of the damage [French et al. 1974:30]. |
