Location: This site lies in Degirmenözü Mevkii of Gökler Village; 5 km northeast of Ortaköy District of Aksaray Province. |
Geography and Environment: Todd describes Degirmenözü as a low mound along the skirts of a natural hill [Todd 1980:40]. Except for a nearby stream; there are no fresh water sources in the site's vicinity today. In 1966; when the site was surveyed; it was under cultivation. The narrow valley that the site lies in is bounded by mountains. |
