Incredible Precision Stone Vessel at 11,000-Year-Old Site of Ayanlar Hoyuk | Ancient Architects

In the past few weeks I’ve made short video presentations on 5 out of the 12 Tas Tapeler sites of Pre-Pottery Neolithic Turkey and today I’m looking at a 6th, the western-most archaeological site known as Ayanlar Hoyuk. Situated almost due west of Sanliurfa, Ayanlar Hoyuk was only discovered after land surveys in 2013 and although only a small section of the large mound has been investigated, it is already clear that this was once a very large centre in the pre-pottery Neolithic world. It is the third largest man-made mound site identified so far, just smaller than Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe.
