| Location: It lies at Karapinar Mevkii; between the villages of Mustafa Çelebi and Çikhasan; 1 km northeast of Çikhasan Village; south of Çorum. The site had been named as Pazarli by the excavator probably because of the former name of the village. It is locally known as Kale. |
| Geography and Environment: The settlement is surrounded by small hills pierced by streams. The natural defenses provided by the rocky block of limestone; probably; played a significant role while choosing this site for occupation. The Karapinar Özü; passing by this block; flows through a narrow strait in waterfalls and joins the Alaca River on the north. The small streams reaching this stream carved small caves by eroding the limestone rocks. At present; it is a densely wooden area. |
