[edit] Çayönü
Near the village of Sesverenpınar, among the Hilar rocks Çayönü hill was first settled 9500 years ago in 7500 BC, ad was continuously inhabited until 5,000BC, and occasionally since. Remains have been found from the earlier habitation, one of the most important archaeological finds of its era. We can see evidence of an early city from the Neolithic period, when nomadic hunter-gatherers began to settle in one place. Excavation of Çayönü, one of the largest and best-preserved sites of its kind was begun in 1963 by Istanbul University and the University of Chicago and continues today.
