CEVAP:

The Neolithic Site of Çatalhöyük consists of two tells with remains from the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods. This was a large settlement, and the sites were permanently inhabited. Mud-brick houses have been found as well as wall paintings and other decorations. Burials were mostly beneath house floors. The site dates mainly from 7,400-5,500 BC. A wealth of goods and tools were excavated here, including stamp seals. The settlement was first excavated between 1961 and 1965. It has a unique level of preservation for a site of this age. The findings from the excavations are on exhibit in Ankara Anatolian Civilizaitons Museum.
