9,000-Year-Old Settlement Discovered in Turkey

Archaeologists have recovered bone and obsidian tools, beads, and other ornaments

Newsroom September 2 11:40

The Anadolu Agency reports that traces of a settlement, radiocarbon dated to 9,300 years ago have been uncovered at the site of the Sircalitepe Mound, which is located in central Turkey.

Archaeologist Semra Balci of Istanbul University and her colleagues have recovered bone and obsidian tools, beads, and other ornaments from the mound.

The team members also identified an area where obsidian, probably sourced in the nearby volcanic Cappadocia region, was shaped into tools. “No other site has so far been excavated with an obsidian working area and settlement together,” she claimed.
