| Location: This open-air site is northwest of the city of Malatya and east of the town of Yazihan. It used to be where Kuruçay; a small stream which flowed into the Euphrates meandered before the region was flooded by the Karakaya Dam Lake. The artifacts were found in a gravel pit which was about 60-80 m above the natural level of the Euphrates. The proximity of the artifact scatter to the Euphrates and its positioning to the Kuruçay Stream has not been published. |
| Geography and Environment: Researchers report that the gravel pits were exposed by erosion of the overlying sand. Before the dam lake; the rolling hills on both sides of the Euphrates were between 20 and 25 m above the level of the river. The site lay on the Pleistocene terrace above this valley. |
| Destruction Details: The mound is flooded by dam reservoir [TAYEx 15.8.2003]. |
