ÇATALHÜYÜK
A 9000 years old town, one of the largest and most complex early centres of settled life.
A very different type of society in which woman may have played a central role. The early use of pottery and metals, the remarkable preservation of wooden bowls and textiles; the early use of domesticated plats and animals
Catalhoyuk which is an ancient city its history goes back till 7000 BC.
The Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük was first discovered in the late 1950s and excavated by James Mellaart between 1961 and 1965. The site rapidly became famous internationally due to the large size and dense occupation of the settlement, as well as the spectacular wall paintings and other art that was uncovered inside the houses.
Since 1993 an international team of archaeologists, led by Ian Hodder, has been carrying out new excavations and research, in order to shed more light on the people that inhabited the site.
