| Location: The site is located on the southern ridges of the valley formed by theGözeren stream; which is a small branch of Aydinlar River; close to Ovaköy; about 20 km east of Karadeniz Ereglisi. |
| Geography and Environment: Both sides of the Gözeren valley are rocky; while the slopes and the flat areas are covered with trees. The site is located on the southern edge of the valley; on a rocky platform that extends on a large area. The cultural deposit was determined in a natural cave in the middle of the rocky area and on the platform adjacent to it. The cave is in the north-south direction and its mouh faces the valley. On its southern age is an opening like a well. It is assumed that the cave was completely or partially covered while it was being occupied. |
