| Location: It lies 1.5 km southwest of the Celaller Village; 4 km southwest of the Çamardi Village; about 30 km southeast of the Nigde Province [Yener-Earl 1994:map at 169]. |
| Geography and Environment: Between the natural hill called Göltepe and the mine quarry of Kestel on the north lies a shallow slope. Göltepe measures ca. 65 ha [Yener 1995:fig 1]; and it is reported to have a Neogen formation consisting of sandy stone; limestone and clay [Drahor 1993:40] [Ozaner 1993:472). The strata on the hill extend to east and southeast with an inclination degree of 30-40. There are plenty of fresh water springs in the vicinity. It is reported that the total settlement area is ca. 8-10 ha. including 5 ha. inside the fortification walls of the EBA village itself and 3-5 ha. outside the walls. |
