| It is situated at Degirmensuyu Mevkii, 6 km southeast of the Acar Village. Approximately 2 km west to the mound runs the Gaziantep-Kilis motorway. Kumludere Stream lies to west of the mound while the Sinnep Suyu flows to the south. It was founded on the skirts of natural elevations. The height of the mound is approximately 14 to15 m, with eroded skirts. It was discovered during the 2000 Survey conducted by E. Özgen et al. Sherds collected from the surface indicate settlements from the Late Chalcolithic Age, EBA, MBA, LBA, Iron Age and Late Roman Period. It takes place in the registered archaeological sites list prepared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism. |
