| Location: The mound lies southeast of Gaziantep and 1.2-1.3 km east-northeast of Karkamis Höyügü [Algaze et al 1994:9]. It is where the village of Eminik (Yunus) is. This village is not indicated on the 1:1 000 000 maps; on the other hand on 1:200 000 maps; Eminlik; Karkamis and Barak are shown side by side. Probably the town of Barak has enlarged combining with the village of Eminik/Eminlik or the village of Eminik has enlarged becoming the town of Barak. The mound; today; might be around the northwest exit of the town. |
| Geography and Environment: The site; within a wide valley of Euphrates; is surrounded by fertile lands. The railway; probably; passes south of this little mound. |
| Destruction Details: The mound is fairly leveled and houses built on it. Northeastern part of the mound is destructed by a road and pits made by illicit diggers seen at south slope [TAYEx 17.8.2001]. |
