| Location: This site is near the Armutlu quarter of Samançay village; 7 km northwest of the town of Agin; northwest of the city of Elazig. The site is located in Karapinar Mevkii; 1 km south-southeast of the village and close to the dam reservoir. |
| Geography and Environment: The presumed lush vegetation and abundant water sources may have been among the reasons for Palaeolithic habitation in this region. The high number of nearby rock-shelters and flint outcrops were probably additional attractions of this site. |
