Demircihöyük, Archaeological site in Eskişehir Province, Turkey

The excavated settlement reveals multiple layers of ancient habitation, spanning from Early Bronze Age through Middle Bronze Age periods near Zemzemiye village.

German archaeologists started excavations in 1937, uncovering 17 distinct archaeological layers that document settlement patterns from 3000 to 2000 BC.

The site yielded 200 clay idols, numerous bull figurines, weaving tools, and stone casting molds, indicating advanced crafting skills of early inhabitants.

Findings from Demircihöyük excavations are displayed at the Eskişehir Eti Archaeology Museum, where visitors can examine ancient artifacts from the settlement.

The settlement's inhabitants lived 7-8 meters below current ground level due to sediment accumulation since the Neolithic period in the surrounding plain.
