| Location: This site is 2 km northwest of the city of Gaziantep. The exact location of the site is not reported. The schematic map above; which has been copied from the researcher's map; represents the approximate location of the site. |
| Geography and Environment: Although the vegetation around the site; southwest of the undulating Gaziantep Plain is steppe; the plant-life along the rivers and streams contrasts strikingly. This may indicate the vegetation in the Pleistocene was very different. |
| History: |
| Research and Excavation: The site was discovered by Refakat Çiner during her 1950 surface survey of the Gaziantep Region. |
| Stratigraphy: |
| Small Finds: In the district of Degirmicem; Çiner found 8 flint Aucheuléen biface handaxes [Çiner 1958:126]. These tools typologically resemble other Anatolian finds. The site is included among Yalçinkaya's list of Anatolian sites with Clacton type blades and flakes [Yalçinkaya 1990:40]. |
