| Location: This site lies southwest of the site of Nevsehir; 7 km west of Acigöl; on the northern side of the Aksaray-Nevsehir highway; near the water fountain. |
| Geography and Environment: The name of the site probably comes from the water fountain. This spring must also have attracted early settlers to the site. When the site was discovered in 1964; it was under cultivation. Todd believes that the site; before it was damaged by plowing; was either a low broad mound or an open-air site. The extent of the site could not be measured. It has been determined that the obsidian finds were spread over an area larger than 200 m on the northern side of the highway. No finds were found on the southern side of the highway; although Igdeli Tepe; a hill on the southern side; yielded 30 obsidian finds. These finds may indicate a second site. |
| Destruction Details: The site is being used as garbage dump area of the gas station [TAYEx 4.8.2002]. |
