Location: The site of Boztepe is located 8 km east of the town of Bismil in Diyarbakir Province and just to the south of Bismil-Batman highway. |
Geography and Environment: Boztepe is a small and low mound. In spite of the fact that in some areas cultural debris measures more than 4 m in depth; its facade against the rolling terrain and neighboring hills makes it almost indistinguishable from the surrounding landscape. Many parts of Boztepe are covered by the remains of a modern village and there is a road on the southeast side of the mound. |
