| Geography and Environment: The site is located in the northern Yukari Ova (Upper Plain) section of the Çukurova Plain; which is surrounded by the Bolkar Mountains to the northwest; the Akdaglar Mountains to the north and the Amanos Mountains to the east. The Adatepe mound lies on a natural hill which overlooks the valley that leads to the Kürtkulak Geçidi mountain pass. This medium-sized conical mound is 20 m high. There are ruins on the northern side of the mound which date to a "later"; unidentified period. |
