| It is situated behind a gas station to the immediate south of the Adana-Ceyhan motorway, approximately 9 km east of Adana. It is a mid-size mound with a height of 7 m. It was discovered in 1934, followed by surveys and surface collections of R.O. Arik, M.V. Seton-Williams and J. Mellaart. I appears that the site had been inhabited from the Chalcolithic Age until the Hellenistic Period. It is one of the Late Hittite settlements [Seton-Williams 1954:158; findspot no. 8]. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. |
