| Location: This site lies northwest of Gaziantep; 6.3 km east-northeast of the village of Sakçagözü and 2.5 km south of the site identified as SAK 14. It is located in a narrow valley; on Mount Arapdede; which leads to the village of Seyhliçerit. The only way to get to this scattered open-air site; which lies immediately north of the Gaziantep-Adana highway is via this highway or on foot from the village. |
| Geography and Environment: The Emirler Valley; often considered to be the continuation of the Islahiye Plain; extends to the swampy area in the north. Although it is mentioned that the artifacts were found on the valley floor; the exact location and the dimensions of the site are not given. The site lies 850 m above sea-level. |
