Location: This site lies northeast of the city of Antakya; 14.5 km west-northwest of the town of Reyhanli; and approximately 1 km from Lake Antioch before it was partially dried. It lies beneath the village of Hasanusagi.
Geography and Environment: The site of Hasanusagi; also known as Üçtepe (which literally means three hills); is comprised of three relatively small and low mounds. Now; a modern village is built on one of the mounds. The fields around the site are fertile. West of the site is a swamp/marsh.
Destruction Details: There is a farm on top hill and the rest of the mound is cultivated. There are leveled areas east; southeast and north of the mound. It has been severely damaged due to plowing [TAYEx 18.7.2001].
