Çatalhöyük

A very large Neolithic settlement in southern Anatolia, which existed from approximately 7500 BC to 5700 BC. It is the largest and best-preserved Neolithic site found to date. The present settlement (ruins) are located overlooking the Konya Plain, southeast of the present-day city of Konya in Turkey, the ancient settlement had features of primitive urban society and property layout. It is located fairly close to a volcano, and, oddly, was abandoned before the dawn of the bronze age.
