| Location: The site lies at Kayaardi Mevkii; on a terrace 2.4 km northwest of the city of Nigde; in an area that overlooks the city. It is also known as Kisla Kadarak. |
| Geography and Environment: Mount Kayaardi is 1 km long; flat and rocky. In 1967 when Todd was researching the area; he noted that Mount Kayaardi in entirety would very shortly be completely covered by modern development. The road that goes from Nigde to Yesilburç is built along side the water pipelines. Finds were found scattered on and around the rocky hill. The thickness of the depositional fill is not known. In many places; bedrock is still at the surface. |
