Location: The site used to lie approximately 750 m east of Asvan Village of Elazig; near a small valley before the construction of Keban Dam. It is completely vanished in the present day. The location code of the site is N 52 / 9. |
Geography and Environment: Small and low mound; also called Köyüstü [Whallon Ğ Kantman 1970:4]; is located near a wooded valley. It was damaged by erosion; irrigation channels; and a stream at the east. Although the dimensions of the mound are 100x80x3 m [French et al. 1972:45 - 46]; this cannot be the exact measurement because of the damage [French et al. 1974:30]. |
Destruction Details: The mound is flooded by dam reservoir [TAYEx 14.7.2003]. |
