| Location: It is located next to the Elazig-Pertek motorway; some 15 km north-northeast of the Elazig Province. This rock shelter was lying on the side of a rocky block which stands like an island in the midst of the Keban Dam at present [Kökten 1974:pl.7/1-2]. |
| Geography and Environment: K. Kökten reports the presence of a small cave and a long and narrow rock shelter underlying this cave. The cave and shelter are open towards the south [Kökten 1971:15;pic.14/1]. No information was provided about the dimensions of the shelter. |
