| Location: The site lies 11 km southwest of Adiyaman; near Çakal Village. It is easy to reach the site via the Adiyaman-Sambayat Road. Having no local name; the site was named as Çakal and labeled as no:39 after the survey. |
| Geography and Environment: There is no information about its dimensions and environmental features. It is most probably a plain settlement; located at the eastern slope of a narrow valley of Çakal Stream. To the north is a gushing spring; Arap Pinari. This spring and Çakal Stream; which empties into Atatürk Dam; probably met the need of water for the inhabitants. Intense ploughing caused sherds to appear on the surface. |
| Destruction Details: The find spot is being used for agricultural activities [TAYEx 2.9.2001]. |
