Karahan Tepe

Archeological site in Turkey.

About

Karahan Tepe is a Pre-Pottery Neolithic archaeological site in Şanlıurfa, Turkey. The site is in the same geographical region as Göbekli Tepe, and archaeologists have also uncovered T-shaped stelae there and believe that the sites are related. Additionally, the site may be the earliest known human village, predating the construction of Göbekli Tepe by several centuries, dating to between 10,000 and 9500 BC. The site, discovered in 1997 by Bahattin Celik (Harran University), is located near Yağmurlu and roughly 46 kilometers east of Göbekli Tepe, which is often called its sister site.
