During routine municipal landscaping efforts in the heart of Central Anatolia, archaeologists identified artifacts and structural remains that suggest the presence of a settlement dating back approximately 5,000 years. The discovery, located near the outskirts of a modern township, includes fragments of pottery, stone tools, and remnants of dwelling foundations, offering new insights into the region’s prehistoric habitation. Experts believe this site could shed light on early agricultural practices and social organization in one of the world’s oldest cradles of civilization.

Preliminary analyses highlight several significant findings:

  • Ceramic shards with intricate geometric patterns unique to the Chalcolithic period
  • Evidence of irrigation channels indicating early farming innovations
  • Multiple hearth sites suggesting community gatherings or domestic use
