| Location: This site lies 15 km northeast of the city of Sanliurfa; 2.5 km northeast of the village of Karaharabe (Örencik). The survey code of this site is V 52 / 1. |
| Geography and Environment: This site has been named Göbekli Ziyaret or Göbekli Tepe Ziyareti after the graves of saints on the mound. The site; which lies near a steep stream bed; consists of a series of hillocks composed of reddish soil; lying on a limestone ridge oriented northwest-southeast. It can be seen that there are burials on the two highest hillocks. The diameter of the area with these hillocks is 150 m. Although there is a seasonal stream west of the site; there are no water sources in the area and the region is thus not agriculturally productive [Benedict 1980:137; Braidwood-Braidwood 1986:8]. |
