| Location: This site lies on a hill west of the city of Gaziantep; approximately 6 km northwest of the old town of Keferdiz now known as Sakçegözü (Sakçagözü). On a 1:100;000 map this hill is referred to as Duantepe (Duvantepe). |
| Geography and Environment: West of the hill known as Duantepe; which is a natural basalt outcrop; are some large stone foundations. The town of Sakçagözü lies on a slightly undulating low lying plain. The area is rich in water sources. There are seasonal streams which spring from the southern and northern faces of the hill. It is suspected that the vegetation and especially the woodlands were quite different in the Palaeolithic. |
