Local Landmarks	On Adana road, factory cuts southwest edge; Gölühöyük to NE, cement survey marker on top and on side
Setting	Agricultural fields--cotton, wheat, corn
Site Description	Circular or oval mound badly cut by factory original site extension much larger but might be possible to reach early levels beneath plain level relatively easily. Low terraces on southwest side of site where fields were burnt, these were clear for collecting but disturbed by earth removal. Wheat on most of the site but slopes steeply and these were clear of sherds. Terraces were collected separately. Huge area of site along southeastern edge excavated for factory land fill--flat and section areas collected separately, two large cuts on north and west faces. Looks like upper part of site was a 'late' period fort.
Survey Conditions(include time spent on site)	Collected in morphological areas: KM3-1=southwest section; Km3-2=upper 10m. in center of section where major architectural remains visible; KM3-3=lower 10m; KM3-4=North face cut; KM3-5=west face cut. Revisited in 1997; looting pits visible across site (some filled now to top of passages) and new cut on SW side of mound for canal or path is evident. Museum rep visited & inspected.
Collection Comments	Modern material on top, some Ottoman and terra sigilata, painted LBA wares ?, good EB especially from lower section. Green-glazed amphora handle that looks ‘Parthian’, handled cooking pots, pie crust rims and bases. Needs more study
