| Location: It lies west of the Bozüyük (Semayük) Village; some 6 km east of the Elmali District; west of the Antalya Province. Elmali-Korkuteli motorway passes 5.1 km west of the mound. It is called Karatas-Semayük in order to prevent any confusion with the mound of Semayük. |
| Geography and Environment: Karatas is located immediate east of the Elmali-Korkuteli motorway on the Elmali Plain; 1200 m high from the sea level; surrounded by the Taurus Mountains. It measures 3-4 m in height and 100 m in diameter. The excavations yielded a settlement and a cemetery. |
| Destruction Details: The mound is being damaged due to agricultural activities [TAYEx 18.6.2001]. |
