| Location: The site lies in the province of Nigde; close to Bahçeli Village; 17 km to the centrum; on the Kayseri-Nigde-Adana highway [Silistreli 1984a:83]. |
| Geography and Environment: A Roman Period artificial pool located at the southern skirts of the mound is supplied by a natural spring closely which proves that; at least 2000 years ago; the region was watery and fertile just like in the present. The mound is 80 m in diameter and 15 m in height [Harmankaya et al. 1997:Kösk Höyük]. |
