Ancient Settlement in Şanlıurfa Province, Turkey. One of the Neolithic sites of the Taş Tepeler (Stone Hills) project in south-east Turkey where t-shaped pillars can be found.

Settlement site belonging to the Urfa culture dating to about 8000 BCE, which also relates to the Göbeckli Tepe and Nevali Cori site. Unfortunately the site lies under the Şanlıurfa rubbish dump and is largely destroyed.
