| Location: Before it was inundated by Keban Dam; the site used to lie approximately 21 km east of Elazig; between and close to the old Elazig-Bingöl railway and highway. |
| Geography and Environment: Tülintepe is one of the five mounds; inundated by Keban Dam. Moreover; soil from Tülintepe was used to construct a new railway; because Elazig-Bingöl railway and highway were going to be inundated. Therefore; upper parts of the mound were removed by a bulldozer; thus destroying the upper layers. Tülintepe was 200x250 m in area and 16.60 m high before the destruction. Geophysical analyses suggest that the deposit of the mound still continues down to 5/6 m below the surface [Esin-Arsebük 1974b:137; 139]. |
| Destruction Details: The mound is flooded by dam reservoir [TAYEx 15.8.2003]. |
