It’s a 12-metre-high mound, covering an area of 210 by 170 metres and recent excavations have revealed a 9,500-year-old aceramic Neolithic settlement and obsidian workshop with well-preserved architectural features and chipped stone finds. The site is just a few kilometres away to the two primary sources of Obsidian in central Anatolia and the obsidian finds at Sırçalıtepe are numerous.
