| Location: The site lies approximately 10 km east of Islahiye District; in Gaziantep; 1800 m south of Bostanaga Village; north of the road leading to Islahiye. |
| Geography and Environment: Tilmen; located on a desiccated swamp area surrounded by the branches of Karasu River; is 21 m high; and measures 225 m in diameter. However; its original round shape had a diameter of 245 m before the central part extended towards west through time and the mound became ovoid as a result. It measures 200x125 m for now [Alkim 1964:169]. |
| Destruction Details: The east; north and northwest skirts of the mound are crossed by Karasu Stream [TAYEx 24.8.2001]. |
