Geography and Environment: In the vicinity of Inbogazi Mevkii; aside Karanlik Magara; there are several caves like Devedami; Aydinlik and Andik. Introduced as Inbogazi Caves; those caves stand on the calcareous slope of the Büyük Çal mountain facing the Gelinderesi stream. Among them; only Karanlik Magara was investigated and provided information about the local culture. Therefore; the finds should have been presented under the name of the Karanlik Magara. The construction of the Havran Dam is in progress. The caves will be partly influenced by the dam.
