Location: This site lies northeast of the city of Kütahya; 2 km south of the town of Sabuncular; in the area known as Asarkaya.
Geography and Environment: The geographical information provided by the researcher indicates that Asarkaya is a rock outcrop which lies on the northwestern skirts of Mount Türkmen. The finds were found on a slope of the rock outcrop and on the flat area beside it. The region is abundant in natural caves; which must have been attractive shelters for the first producers.
