Ancient Village or Settlement in South Eastern Turkey. Very early Pre Pottery Neolithic settlement dating to about 10,200 to 9,200 BCE. The site is pre-agricultural, but the people were sedentary. There were early traces of the domestication of pigs. Sedentism here may have developed without the intensive use of cereal crops, as elsewhere.

Discovered and excavated by international team lead by Michael Rosenberg of University of Delaware, Richard Redding of University Michigan and Mark Nesbitt of University College, London in 1994.

Flooded due to Batman Dam on Tigris River.

What does the word 'çemi' mean?

The site was drowned when they built a dam. Only a small part of it was excavated.

I'm guessing 38.227159 N, 41.238851 E. Looks like the dam on the Batman river might have flooded it, according to the TAY website.

Re: Hallan Cemi Tepe by Anonymous on Tuesday, 03 July 2007
I am sorry but it looks like I am noticing a first error in this otherwise GREAT site. Hallan Cemi is not exactly on the location which you gave the geographic coordinates for! According to the coordinates given, it's giving the location close to Sanliurfa, which is wrong, as it should be close to Batman! I am still searching on my own for the correct coordinates of Hallan Cemi, so I might help there unless you correct it before I do.

Thanks!
