| Location: This site lies east of the city of Nevsehir; 8 km south-southeast of the town of Ürgüp; 2 km northwest of the village of Karlik. It is possible to reach the site via the Nevsehir-Ürgüp-Mustafapasa highway. |
| Geography and Environment: The conical shape of volcanic Mount Avladag can be seen from the Aksaray Region. It has been noted that the finds were collected from a terrace 300 m below the highest terraces of Mount Avladag; east of the Damsa Stream Valley. The terrace which yielded the artifacts has been schematically represented in the site publication [Todd-Pasquare 1965:fig.1]. |
| Destruction Details: The site is being damaged due to erosion [TAYEx 27.7.2002]. |
