| Location: This site; now flooded by the Keban Dam Lake lies northwest of the city of Elazig; about 8-9 km northwest of the town of Keban. The site was at the Enerli Çiftligi Farm; 1.5 km; as the crow flies; north of the Arapkir Stream and 3 km south of the town of Agin. |
| Geography and Environment: It is difficult to locate this site geographically because of the lack of information. The above map shows an approximate location. |
| History: |
| Research and Excavation: This site was discovered by I.K. Kökten during his 1971 Erzincan-Tunceli survey of sites expected to be submerged by the Keban Dam Lake. |
| Stratigraphy: |
| Small Finds: Kökten named this site; where several Lower Palaeolithic tools were found; Enerli Mevkii. The tools include notched palm-shaped scrapers with one straight edge; rough triangular points; and large scrapers on blades. It is also reported that some of the styles resemble Middle Palaeolithic types [Kökten 1971a:15; fig.16/2 and Kökten 1971b:130; fig. 9]. |
