Tell Qaramel, Archaeological site north of Aleppo, Syria.
Tell Qaramel features multiple stone towers and structures spanning across a fertile river valley at 444 meters above sea level.
The settlement dates back to 11,000 BCE, containing structures that predate the established timeline of agriculture and animal domestication in human history.
The excavated site revealed remains of 20 adults with removed heads, indicating specific ceremonial practices and possible head cult traditions.
The archaeological area extends southward from the main mound, with a railway line now intersecting through sections of the Neolithic settlement.
Archaeologists discovered a polished copper nugget at the site, representing one of the earliest metal artifacts found in human settlements.
