Location: The site lies north of Adana; approximately 17 km southeast of Kadirli District; 6.5 km southwest of Çerçiusagi Village; just across Karatepe ruins.
Geography and Environment: The site is located on the eastern shore of Aslantepe Dam; near the lake. It used to lie on a rocky elevation; overlooking Ceyhan River; before the construction of the dam. The old settlements are on the western and southern slopes of the mound. The settlement is divided into three areas: The plateau where the Roman farm is located; the mound with all levels revealed; and the slope settlement (for detailed location see Harmankaya et al. 1997:Domuztepe).
