| Location: This cave-site lies west-northwest of the city of Gaziantep; 250 m east of the village of Sakçagöz (old Keferdiz). Sakçagözü Magarasi is one of the caves along the road that goes from this village to the graveyard. Today the site is in an area where there has recently been much modern development. |
| Geography and Environment: Although the site is described as a cave; in some publications researchers have also referred to it as a rock-shelter. The dimensions of this cavity have not been reported. Garrard and crew report that a total of 13 caves were found during their 1994 survey in the area. These caves and the area in front of each cave yielded a lot of Neolithic and later material and ceramics. |
