Location: This is a mound site located northwest of the city of Gaziantep and 9 km northeast of the town of Sakçagözü. Birtlan is a local derivative of the name Bögürtlen; literally meaning "blackberry". Both names are common in archaeological literature. The more correct version is Bögürtlen Höyük.
Geography and Environment: The 5-7 m high mound-site lies in the Sakçagözu Plain. There is a survey point on top of the mound. It is reported that basalt blocks were found at the surface of the mound in the 1961 survey [Perrot 1962:16].
Destruction Details: The site is being destructed by agricultural activities [TAYEx 27.8.2001].
