| Location: It is located where the village of Güzelova (Tufanç/Tufanli) is situated; south of Dumlu; 15 km north-northeast of Erzurum Province. |
| Geography and Environment: One of the branches of the Euphrates; the Karasu Stream; passes by the south of the mound. The mound is located in a fertile and watery part of the Erzurum Plain. It is 12.5 m high above the plain level. It is noted that the lower levels of the mound are below the plain level because the virgin soil was still not reached at 20 m depth. The eastern part of the mound has been severely damaged; particularly by the foundations of the modern buildings and garbage pits. |
| Destruction Details: The mound has disappeared due to earth removal [TAYEx 28.6.2003]. |
