Location: This site lies north of the dirt road that goes from the Günyazi (Veysiye) Train Station to the village of Yassica; between the railroad tracks and the Ceyhan-Toprakkale highway; northeast of the town of Ceyhan and east of the city of Adana. |
Geography and Environment: The site is one of the important mounds in the upper Çukurova Valley. There appears to be two mounds; side by side. One is a flat-topped; stepped hill which is 40 m high; while the western one is only 15 m in height. When the site was surveyed in 1951; it was reported that these hills were used for planting crops. |
Destruction Details: The mound has been damaged due to agricultural activities. Top of the mound is leveled. Fields start from the skirts and the western hill is completely planted [TAYEx 31.7.2001]. |
