| Location: This site is located in the town of Nizip; a district of the province of Gaziantep; 37 km (as the crow flies) east of the main city. It lies on the lower terraces and flat plains along the Nizip Stream which flows by the villages of Tilmagara; Hancagiz; Mihrap; Gevence and Mercanli before it empties into the Euphrates. (Instead of including each village as a separate site; we have chosen; like the surveyor; Minzoni-Deroche; to collectively present the information under the heading Asagi Nizip Yöresi; or Lower Euphrates Region). |
| Geography and Environment: The Nizip Stream springs from Mount Kartal; which lies by the lower flanks of the 1;496 m high Büyüksaf. It then flows southeast through the town of Nizip; south of town of Birecik and joins the Euphrates at Kirgiz after a 110 km long journey. The small rivers and streamlets have given the region an undulating appearance. |
