| Location: This site lies south of the city of Siirt; west of the town of Eruh and northwest of the village of Baggözü (also known as Girden). |
| Geography and Environment: The site is located by Güsir Lake; which is fed by Botan (Bohtan) Stream; a tributary of the Tigris River and Kavaközü Stream. This lake appears on map section M 47 on a 1:100.000 scaled map. Although the mound is reported to be "middle-sized" the exact dimensions have not been given. When the site was surveyed in 1988-90; the upper part of the mound was reported to be used; as a grove while the bottom part was a rice field. Kavaközü Stream forks by the flat area by the mound. There appears to be a 3-4 m thick material cultural deposit on the side of the mound that faces the lake. From the artifact distributions; it has been determined that the size of the mound is 2-3 hectares. |
