An Aceramic Neolithic settlement dating from 7500 BCE, discovered in 1993.
Two main occupational phases were determined in Musular. The first settlement lying on the bedrock belongs to the Aceramic phase of the Neolithic Period and is dated between 7500-6500 BCE. The Aceramic Neolithic settlement; which has five layers as far as it has been excavated; is contemporary and related to the upper phases of Asikli Höyük. Above the Aceramic settlement; the Ceramic phase settlement lies but its date has not been clarified yet. It lies partially on the Aceramic fill and on a ground level; which was gained by leveling the buildings of the Aceramic settlement.

There are artefacts from Musular on display at Aksaray Museum.
