| The mound discovered in 1993; lies in Minehüyük Village; southeast of Türkoglu District; 47 km south of Kahramanmaras Province. West of the mound is Kiriskal swamp. It is a site examined by E. Carter as a part of the Kahramanmaras Archaeological Survey Project. Despite the abundance of Late Chalcolithic Age sherds collected from the surface; no Uruk ware was found present. Depending on this observation; E. Carter states that the region possesses a local development in Late Chalcolithic Age and Early Bronze Age 1. |
