| It is situated 100 m south of the Adana-Yakapinar motorway, 6.6 km east of the Incirlik Village, west of the Yakapinar Subdistrict, approximately 17 km east of Adana. It has a height of 7-8 m with a flat top and terraces. It was investigated during the Neilsen Expedition in 1936 and identified as a Late Hittite settlement. Analysis on the sherds collected during the Cilicia Survey conducted under the direction of M.V.Seton-Williams indicated that it had been inhabited from the Early Bronze Age until the Byzantine Period, except the 2nd Millennium BC [Seton-Williams 1954:131-163; findspot 9]. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. |
