Harbetsuvan Tepesi

Harbetsuvan Tepesi is an archaeological site sitting on limestone hills of the Tektek mountain range at about 740 meters elevation. The location reveals remains of Neolithic buildings with rectangular shapes and stone pillars built into the ground.

The site was excavated in 2014 by Şanlıurfa Museum and revealed structures from the Early Neolithic period without pottery. The finds indicate this place was used during an important time in human settlement history.

The site is known locally as the 'flint mound' because flint tools lie scattered across the ground where you walk. These artifacts reveal how important this place was for early communities.

The site sits on elevated ground from which you can see other well-known archaeological places in the region. The location is in hilly terrain, so wear proper shoes and bring plenty of water.

A striking discovery was a seated male figure that resembles sculptures found at other Neolithic locations. Obsidian tools were also found, showing that people here traded with distant regions.
