| Location: This site lies on a low ridge southeast of the city of Adiyaman; about 5 km north-northeast of the town of Samsat and 1.200 m southwest of the village of Biriman; on the eastern bank of the Bolunca Stream. Its survey code is T 51 / 20. |
| Geography and Environment: A scatter of chipped stone tools were found on a Medieval site measuring 70x40 m. It is believed that the number of Palaeolithic sites will increase if surveys become more systematic. |
| Destruction Details: The site is flooded by dam reservoir today [TAYEx 29.8.2001]. |
