The location of Lusanda is uncertain, although it is likely to have been in the eastern part of the Cilician plain. Minareli Hüyük, ca. 7 km north of Toprakkale, has been (tentatively) suggested as a possible location of Lusanda. Lusanda is often equated with Lahuzatia in Old Assyrian texts, Lawasanda in Ugaritic sources, La(hu)wasantija in Hittite texts, and Lawasantiya in Luwian sources and it has been proposed that that city is to be identified with Karahüyük, near Elbistan. The Helsinki Atlas (Map 3 and page 12) very tentatively accepts that suggested location.
