Location: This site is located approximately 30 km northwest of the city of Istanbul and 14 km northwest of the town of Kemerburgaz; on the sand dunes between the villages of Çiftealan and Agaçli.
Geography and Environment: The site is composed of several artifact scatters which are located along Agaçli Stream in the west; along Hakaydin Stream to the east; along the Black Sea coast to the north; and on the beach and shrub covered/forested sand dunes to the south. The area is approximately 1.5x1 km in size. Because the dunes by the shore occasionally shift as a result of the wind; older dunes with evidence of early campsite habitation are occasionally exposed (for more detail on the geographic setting of Agaçli see Harmankaya-Tanindi 1996:Agaçli). The survey code of this site is C 12 / 1.
