| Location: It is situated in Gökhöyük Agricultural Works Directorate's land at the 27th km of Amasya-Çorum motorway within Amasya borders. It is 2 km northwest of Gözlek Village, and 5 km east of Toklucak (Oluz) Village. It is located 3 km south of Amasya-Çorum motorway. It is also known as Yassi Höyük and Tepetarla Höyük [Dönmez-Naza Dönmez 2009:87]. |
| Geography and Environment: It is situated in the abundant Geldingen Plain where Çekerek River (Zuliya in Hittite texts, ancient Skaylaks) one of the important tributaries of Yeşilirmak (ancient name Iris) runs to the south of the plain [Dönmez-Naza Dönmez 2009:87]. |
| Destruction Details: A continuously increasing destruction can be observed at Oluz Mound. It develops particularly in the upper sections and on the east side of the mound. This is mostly due to the illicit diggings [Yüksel-Bal 2009:2]. |
