| It is on the Oymatas-Seyhçoban motorway in the province of Batman. The finds were encountered on the fields that lie on the upper and lower parts of the road and on the western slopes of the Besiryolu ridge. It was discovered in 2001 by a team leaded by H. Taskiran during the project of "The Palaeolithic Survey in the Ilisu Dam Reservoir Region". Small-sized biface tools were found. A neatly treated hatchet was encountered. The other finds include notched side scrapers; stone perforators; cores and a typical Levallois disc. Code S61/30. |
