| Location: This large site lies on the Akkas and Gödekiri Plain; southwest of the city of Ankara; extending four km between the villages and towns of Peçenek; Cimsit; Polatli (Polatlar) and Gödekiri. Although it is reported that the site lies on a flat plain; on section I 29 of a 1:100;000 map; part of the area 2.5 km northeast of the town of Polatli appears to be undulating and hilly terrain. The rest of the area; especially 3-4 km southwest of the village of Cimsit in Gödekiri; is indeed flat. This discrepancy is not clearly defined in the site report. |
| Geography and Environment: The Akkas Gökdekiri Plain; which is at an altitude of about 850-900 m; rises slightly in a single ridge towards the village of Peçenek. The closest source of water in this dry area is the Pekmezci Spring in the east. |
