It is located about 1.5 km north of the related ancient site of Kultepe-1, or about 10 km north of Nakhchivan on the west bank of Nakhchivanchay river between the villages of Kültepe and Didivar [1]. The earliest layer of the settlement is 7–10 m. in thickness; it dates back to the Early Bronze Age and is related to Kura–Araxes culture [1]. The remains of circular-shaped buildings built of bricks were discovered there [1]. The results of the radiocarbon analysis show the age of 3500–2400 years BC [1]. The thickness of the second layer of this monument is more than 4 meters [1]. Dating to the II millennium, it consists of four construction stages, detailing the lives of Kultepe residents [1]. Large-scale painted containers, stone, bone and bronze tools, ornaments, weapons were also found [1].
