| It is situated on a basaltic elevation to the immediate west of the motorway to the Toprakkale Subdistrict from Huriusagi Village, 7 km north of Toprakkale, east of Adana. As a result of the Cilician Survey conducted in 1951 by a team under the direction of M.V. Seton-Williams, it was reported that the site had been inhabited from the Chalcolithic Age until the Islamic Period. It is also known as Tilva Höyük [Seton-Williams 1954:131-164]. Sherds in Coba ware of Chalcolithic Age are recovered. It is assumed that this location is the settlement named Magarali Höyük found 7 km from Sayhöyük Village of Toprakkale District in 2008, by F. Tülek [Tülek 2010:74-75]. |
