| Location: It is located within the territory of the Yesilova District; 18 km northwest of the Aksaray Province. It is easily accessible through the Aksaray-Yesilova motorway. |
| Geography and Environment: It looks like a flat hill from a far distance. It is reported to measure ca. 800x700 m in dimensions according to the distribution of the pottery. The size of the EBA settlement couldn't be verified by the researchers. Almost completely obscured by the modern Yesilova houses; it has been saved from the possible damages after the excavation was started. The Melendiz Stream (Uluirmak) originating from the Melendiz Mountain; used to pass by the hill to spill into the Lake Tuz. Today; it disappears in the plain before reaching the lake as it is used for irrigation purposes. |
