Çukuriçi Höyük, Archaeological site in Atatürk Mahallesi, Turkey.
Located 1 kilometer southeast of ancient Ephesus, Çukuriçi Höyük reveals multiple settlement layers containing stone foundations, pottery remains, and metallurgical facilities.
The site spans from 6700 BC through the Early Bronze Age, with a significant gap between the Neolithic period and its reoccupation in the late 4th millennium BC.
Excavations have uncovered evidence of maritime networks, advanced stone working techniques, and the development of specialized copper production methods during different settlement periods.
The archaeological site provides researchers access to preserved architectural elements, artifacts, and manufacturing areas that document the progression of early human settlements.
The location served as an intersection between Anatolian and Aegean regions, contributing to understanding the spread of Neolithic cultures into Southeast Europe.
