| Location: The site lies at the foothills of the Raman Mountains near the village of Okçu located east of the city of Batman. |
| Geography and Environment: Mount Raman is located in the eastern portion of the Raman Valley and Batman River watershed. The Tigris flows south of this mountain through a terraced canyon. Post-Pleistocene settlements are rarely seen in this region. A two week surface survey at this habitation/atelier site conducted in 1989 yielded widely scattered flintstone tools and debitage products. Okçu is the most important of these settlements. |
