Long Description:
The North Shelter
This shelter was designed in 2008 by the architectural firm Atölye Mimarlik. It helps to protect the site from sun, wind rain and snow. It also allows archaeologists to excavate during summer months.
Inside you can see the remains of several buildings, which are excavated, conserved and put on display. People lived in these homes about 8800 years ago.
Today only the floors, walls and certain features remain. Inside you can find ancient ovens, burial pits and wall decorations. You can also learn more about archaeological techniques we use on site.
