'' As a result of excavations 7000-7500 years ago, the first settlement in the region based on the known to the Chalcolithic Age. This year, three new part in the excavations of the construction technique, rude workmanship, and good unbaked dough is mixed with coarse sand particles form, the present Anatolian Neolithic period 8000-9000 years ago turned out to reflect the properties of the ceramic repertoire. Thus, since Alacahöyük moved as far back as 1000-1500 years.
Digging these parts in our work, Urfa Gobeklitepe on stone blocks and the like Burdur Kuruçay Mound fully reflect the Neolithic ceramic repertoire. Thus, the first resettlement Alacahöyük'teki, we have to understand traced back to the late Neolithic Age. 8000-9000 years before present understanding of the history of Alacahöyük hung just for this region, but is also extremely important in the history of settlement in Central Anatolia.
