| Location: This site is north of the city of Kahramanmaras; 27 km north of the town of Elbistan; between the villages of Sariyatak (22 km north of Elbistan) and Köyceviran (also called Gökçek) in the southern fringes of Mount Tude. The distance between the two villages is approximately 6 km; as the crow flies; making it difficult to specify the exact location of the site. Some archaeological publications refer to this site as Elbistan. |
| Geography and Environment: It is presumed that the ecological characteristics of the Maras Region were suitable for human habitation in the Palaeolithic Period. Further research conducted in this area will help in understanding the Palaeolithic of Turkey. |
