| Location: The site lies 25 km northeast of Malatya; east-northeast of Battalgazi District; approximately 500 m northwest of Kulusagi Village; at the western side of the road leading to Meydancik Village; which is inundated today. |
| Geography and Environment: The mound is under water at times when the water level of Karakaya Dam increases; and emerges at other times forming a cape. Auscillation of the water level effects the mound. Therefore; it may be totally destroyed in the present. The finds of the settlement were on the terraces; formed by the river; in 1989. Dimensions are not exactly known. The cultural deposit of the mound is observed to be 1.5 m thick. The mound consists of two elevations; one at the south and the other at the north; separated by a defile. For this reason; it was named as "Ikiz Höyük" by Degirmentepe team. The mound is on top of a conglomerate; natural elevation. |
| Destruction Details: The site has been flooded by Karakaya dam reservoir [TAYEx 15.8.2003]. |
