| Location: This site is west-northwest of the city of Gaziantep; northeast of Mount Kartal; in the village of Kartal; 9 km southeast of the town of Sakçegözü (Keferdiz). Although Bostanci reports that this site is 90 km from the city of Gaziantep; the only village of Kartal in the province lies 37 km; as the crow flies; west of the city. Bostanci must be reporting the distance that he recorded using the speedometer of the vehicle he used to get to the site. It is therefore assumed that the village is indeed Kartal. |
| Geography and Environment: The vicinity of Mount Kartal is extremely hilly. Bostanci does not provide further information on the location of the site. On the terraces and flanks of the valley there are a large number of flintstone nodules. There are probably many rock-shelters and caves in the area. |
