It was found in 1964 by R. Harper and M. Ramsden during a survey. The site was named K\u00f6\u015fk P\u0131nar\u0131 (K\u00f6\u015fk Spring) after a natural spring on a lower slope. Because of drillings for water by the State Water Works (DSl) around the west slope, rescue excavations took place from 1980-1990 under U. Silistreli under the auspices of the Ni\u011fde Museum. Excavations resumed from 1995 until recently under the auspices of the Ni\u011fde Museum and under A. \u00d6ztan.\r\n\r\nThe Bor plateau rises to the North of the city of Ni\u011fde (ca. 1100 m above the sea level). The eastern elevations, covered with Holocene alluvium, are Neogene calcareous tufa. One elevation (Uzun Tepe) is 1179 m high. THe hilltop was truncated during the Ni\u011fde - Adana highway construction.\r\n\r\n K\u00f6\u015fk H\u00f6y\u00fck lies on the northern slope of this truncated hillrock. The peaks of Hasan Da\u011fi and Melendiz Da\u011fi can be seen from the top of the mound in any weather condition, Alada\u011f and Bolkar Mountains are a little further away.\r\n\r\nThere are a lot of freshwater springs in the calcareous limestone terrain (one is located on the west side of the mound), the site is generally located at the center of rich, fertile agricultural areas up until the present (the modern village of Kemerishar lies around the Neolithic mound). The site was easily accessible to obsidian resources; also the forests that existed in the Neolithic provided numerous resources. \r\n\r\nThe site was used from the Aceramic Neolithic to the Early Chalcolithic (until ca. 5000 BC), and again in the Late Iron Age, Late Hellenistic Period, Roman Period, Byzantine Period, Middle Ages, Turkish Republic and the present. Settlement remains, graves, pottery, figurines and other small finds (seals, tools etc.) were found.", "topography": 2, "alias_name": [132], "public": true, "province": 61, "modified": "2016-08-27T19:39:40.702Z", "authorityfile_id": "", "longitude": "34.612222", "alternative_name": [], "created": "2016-08-27T19:39:40.702Z", "latitude": "37.8475"}, "model": "defcdb.site"}]
