Ancient Settlement in Kahramanmaraş Province, Turkey
The archaeological site of Domuztepe is located in south-central Turkey and is the largest known example of a settlement from the Late Neolithic (around 6,500-5,500 BC). This was a key period of change in prehistory, after the development of agriculture and prior to the emergence of the earliest cities. British Museum.
The settlement was found during an archaeological survey of the Kahramanmaraş region and has been the focus of an archaeological project since 1995. Domuztepe is currently being excavated by the University of Manchester and the British Museum under the sponsorship of the British Institute at Ankara. The excavation website.
