Located in Aksaray, this is another very early permanent settlement.
It is important for understanding the transition from hunter-gatherer communities toward settled life.
You can see evidence of:
Early houses
Stone tools
Food preparation
Animal domestication
Burials
Early village organization
This is approximately 5,000 years older than the pyramids of Giza.
Photos of Aşıklı Höyük show the excavated ruins of a 10,000-year-old prehistoric village, modern protective shelters, and full-scale reconstructions of ancient dwellings.What You See in the PhotosMud-Brick Excavation Trenches: Closely clustered, rectangular houses made of mud brick (kerpiç) built directly on top of older building foundations over hundreds of years.Modern Protective Shelters: Large steel and fabric canopies (such as the HV+T shelter) built over delicate excavation zones to protect ancient walls from rain and sun.Reconstructed Neolithic Houses: Full-sized replicas of ancient village homes near the entrance that let visitors see how early settlers lived in compact, connected neighborhood compounds.Scenic River Valley: The peaceful landscape along the Melendiz River surrounded by the volcanic tuff geology of the central Aksaray region.
阿舍克勒·赫于克（Aşıklı Höyük）——距今约 10,000 年
该遗址位于阿克萨赖（Aksaray），是又一处极早期的永久性定居点。
它对于理解从狩猎采集社群向定居生活的过渡具有重要意义。
在这里，你可以看到以下方面的遗迹与证据：
早期房屋
石器
食物加工
动物驯化
墓葬
早期村落组织结构
该遗址比吉萨金字塔群还要早约 5,000 年。
Aşıklı Höyük（阿舍克勒·赫于克）的照片展示了这座拥有万年历史的史前村落的考古遗迹、现代保护性棚顶设施以及按实物大小复原的古代民居。照片中的看点包括：泥砖结构考古发掘区——由泥砖（kerpiç）砌成的长方形房屋密集排列，历经数百年，直接在更早期的建筑地基上层叠建造；现代保护性棚顶——覆盖在脆弱考古发掘区上方的大型钢结构与织物顶棚（如 HV+T 棚顶），旨在保护古老墙体免受日晒雨淋；新石器时代复原民居——位于入口附近的古代村落房屋实物复原模型，让游客得以一窥早期定居者如何在紧凑相连的居住群落中生活；风景优美的河谷——梅伦迪兹河（Melendiz River）沿岸宁静的景致，四周环绕着阿克萨赖（Aksaray）中部地区特有的火山凝灰岩地貌。
