| Location: It lies in the section known as Yaylaalti Mevkii in the Elmali mountain pasture; on the eastern foots of 3134 m high Aladag; to the west of the village of Çamuslu in Kötek sub district; northwest of the district of Kagizman to the south of the center of Kars. |
| Geography and Environment: The mass with the rock paintings of basalt. The larger one of the panels on the steep and smooth surface of this basalt structure is about 4-5 m high from the ground level; and measures 14-15 m in length and 3.5-4 m in width [Karpuz 1977:res.1-3 and Kökten 1975:res.5;6;14;15]. 15 m far from this panel is a smaller one 4-5 m high from the ground. Kökten suggests that the small recess under the large panel may be a rock shelter. At a distance of 500 m is a water source called Sütlüpinar and another one 1 km west called Çamin Gözesi. |
