Ancient Settlement in Ankara, Turkey
The excavation at the prehistoric Koçumbeli habitation, located in the mountainous area, 1400 m. south of Yalıncak village, was started by a team from Middle East Technical University and the Museum of Anatolian Civilazations in Ankara under the directorship of Mr. Burhan Tezcan, between 1965-66 the excavations were continued by Prof.Dr. Cevdet Bayburtluoğlu and Prof.Dr. Sevim Buluç.
Koçumbeli has three habitation levels, dated back to the Early Bronze Age (2500-2300 BC). Like Ahlatlıbel, it occupies only a specific period in prehistory indicating that there was neither an earlier nor a later habitation. Koçumbeli shared a similar culture with the other Early Bronze Age sites of Karaoğlan, Ahlatlıbel and Etiyokuşu in the vicinity of Ankara.
