| Location: The site is 40 km northwest of the city of Ankara; close to the village of Çectepe (or Çestepe); atop the highest terrace formed by sedimentary deposition; immediately west of the (E-5) Ankara-Istanbul highway. This village is located approximately 17 km south southeast of the town of Kizilcahamam. |
| Geography and Environment: Kökten finds this site's location atop the Neogaean layers overlying alluvial deposits quite abnormal and claims that geological expertise is necessary for realistic interpretations of archaeological data [Kökten 1952b:198]. |
