Sefer Tepe is one of the 12 Pre-Pottery Neolithic Tas Tepeler sites of Turkey, not as well-known as Gobekli Tepe or Karahan Tepe but it’s proving to be an important part of the story.

It was only discovered in 2003, located around 50 km east of Gobekli Tepe and 18 km away from Karahan Tepe. The site is a small, broad and shallow limestone mound with the ancient settlement built directly onto the bedrock and covering an area of 1,000 square metres.

It's a settlement that was built in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B, between 10 and 11,000 years ago and it's proving to be a very important site in ancient Turkey. Watch this video to get the latest archaeological update on Sefer Tepe and see all the new discoveries unearthed.
