| It lies on the Top Strait on the northwestern end of the Lake Amuq; southwest of Kirkhan; northeast of Antakya Province. To the west runs the Antakya - Kirkhan highway. The access to the mound; only 1 km away from the highway; is very easy. It was discovered by R. Braidwood in 1935. The materials recovered were evaluated in accordance with the excavations carried out on the plain. It is a small and low mound. The inhabitants of the mound surrounded by fertile fields were getting their fresh water from the small streams originating from the Gavur Mountain. Sherds of EBA; and probably Roman Period and MBA were collected from the surface. |
