Location: This site lies southwest of both the city of Konya and the town of Karapinar. The exact location has not been reported.
Geography and Environment: The mound; located northeast of the volcanic Mount Karadag; is composed of two adjacent hillocks. The researchers therefore refer to the mound as Çoban Ali Höyük I and II. Watkins; in fact; believes that the mound is a single mound and that it was divided into two by water erosion. Both mounds are relatively low.
Destruction Details: One of the hills has been planted and the other has been damaged by DSI (State Hydraulic Works) while searching water by digging a well on top hill ten years ago [TAYEx 17.8.2002].
