Dating back to 9000 BCE, Pınarbaşı reveals the transition period from nomadic hunter-gatherer communities to the first agricultural settlements in central Anatolia.
The site holds collections of spearheads, hooked tang daggers, and flat axes that demonstrate the technological capabilities of early human populations in the region.
