| This site lies 26.5 km southeast of the city of Hatay; approximately 14 km west-northwest of the town of Reyhanli; between the villages of Hasanusagi and Ömercedit. 500 m north of the mound lies the site of Hasanusagi al Dai'ah. Tell Hasanusagi; which lies in the Amuq Plain; east of Lake Antioch; is a high mound with stepped terraces. It is surrounded by fertile land. There is a slight depression in the western part of the mound. It is believed that the lowest levels of this mound are beneath the modern plain level. The area around the mound became marshy in the rainy season in 1933 when the site was surveyed by a team conducted by R.J. Braidwood. The other name of the site is Yerkuyu. EBA materials were also found. |
