A prehistoric site located 40km southeast of Koniya in south-central Turkey, at an altitude of 900m. Excavated by J. Mellato in 1961-63, 65. Dated by carbon-14 to the late 7th to early 6th millennium BC, it is the largest city in Western Asia, belonging to the Neolithic period, and a monumental site that revolutionized the common sense of Neolithic agricultural villages. It consists of two tells, one on the east and one on the west, with the eastern one being the larger, measuring 600m x 300m and 17.5m high. Excavation of about one-third of the total area was carried out up to layer XII, but was stopped before reaching the natural layer.
