| Location: This open-air site is 42 km (as the crow flies) east-southeast of the city of Kars. It lies northeast of the district of Digor; by the caves near the historic Ani ruins and close to the stream. The village of Ocakli (Ani). |
| Geography and Environment: The streamlet mentioned by Kökten springs from the eastern slopes of 2;670 m high Mount Alaca and flows by the Ani ruins where it joins Arpaçay. Although he does not describe them; Kökten informs us of the existence of nearby caves. Indeed; a 1:100;000 map indicates that caves are abundant in this area. It is not reported whether the finds are surface finds. |
