Location: It lies southeast of Harmanören Village; former name Göndürle; about 27 km northeast of Isparta Province. The cemetery claimed to be the cemetery of Göndürle I Höyügü by the researchers is located in the garden of almond trees at Tepecikalti or Tavsanlik Mevkii on the southern foothill of Tavsantepe with an altitude of 1014 m rising 1 km east of the village. The mound cited as Göndürle in the archaeological literature is situated 250-300 m southeast of this cemetery [Özsait 1994:29]. Therefore; the first mound was called Göndürle in order to prevent any confusion between these two mounds. The cemetery is called as the EBA cemetery of Göndürle.
Geography and Environment: The mound is located at the beginning of a plain on the south of the hills where the village of Göndürle is situated. The cemetery; 250-350 m northwest of the mound extends in the northwest- southeast direction on the southern foothill of Tavsantepe in parallel to the mountains. It is reported to cover an area of 1880 square meters and have a diameter of 300 m whereas the mound measures 100x150 m in dimensions.
Destruction Details: The mound has been damaged due to agricultural activities. There is a high voltage power tower on top hill and houses on southwest and south-southeast skirts [TAYEx 2.7.2001].
