Demircihöyük

Demircihöyük is an archaeological site in Eskişehir Province with multiple layers of ancient settlements. The excavations reveal evidence of habitation from the Early Bronze Age through the Middle Bronze Age near Zemzemiye village.

German archaeologists began excavations here in 1937 and uncovered the site's complex layering. The 17 distinct archaeological layers document the settlement patterns from 3000 to 2000 BC.

The objects found here suggest that craftsmanship was important to the people who lived in this settlement. Clay figurines, bull sculptures, and weaving tools tell us about their daily work and beliefs.

The artifacts from Demircihöyük are on display at the Eskişehir Eti Archaeology Museum, where you can examine the ancient objects from this settlement. The museum presents the site's story through the items found during excavations.

The inhabitants lived 7 to 8 meters below the current ground level because sediment accumulated in the surrounding plain since Neolithic times. This depth reveals how much time has passed and how the landscape has transformed.
