Situated around 20 km to the SW of the modern city of Sanliurfa, in the SE Anatolia region of Turkey, is the truly incredible site of Sayburç, at least 11,000-years-old, and archaeologists are uncovering some truly astonishing finds.
This is one of the 12 designated Taş Tepeler sites of Turkey, a Neolithic mound, onto which the modern village of Sayburç was constructed in the 1940s.
Excavations into the mound began in 2021 and experts have already identified two separate Pre-Pottery Neolithic occupation phases. The earliest phase comprises communal structures built directly onto the bedrock and is located in the northern part of the modern village – and on the south eastern edge of a small Roman settlement. The second and later phase contains residential and communal structures and is found 70 metres further to the south.
In this video, I’ll first be discussing the incredible relief carving discovered in the oldest part of the site, and which I first mentioned last year, and then we’ll take a look at the excavations 70 metres to the south, where some more fascinating finds have been discovered.
