| Location: It stands on a rocky hill; about 2 km east (northeast) of Ordudüzü Sub-District and Arslantepe; northeast of the Malatya Province. The southern part of this hill called Gelinciktepe looks like a natural amphitheater named Markop. |
| Geography and Environment: The rock shelters and the spaces between the rocks on the southwestern slope of this rocky hill were occupied. Due to erosion; big rock blocks emerged on the top. The smaller pieces broken from the rocks are spread onto the slopes. The hill is in a position to be naturally defended. |
