| Location: The site is located on a calcareous rocky elevation; bearing the same name; lying southwest of the city of Çorum; southeast of Sungurlu; in between the villages of Bogazköy and Emirler Köyü; 1.6 km northeast of the village of Bogazkale; 3 km southeast of the village of Yekbas; and 2 km north of Yazilikaya. |
| Geography and Environment: The location called Yarikkaya is on the natural calcareous hills located high on the eastern slopes of a valley. A steep terrace lies below; descending to the plain. The location has been named thus; since the environs have the wavy outlook of much fragmented lands. In some publications it has been misspelled as Yarikaya. The cultural deposit is approximately 2 m thick. |
