The Şanlıurfa Neolithic Research Project, which started in 2021, known as Taş Tepeler, is a research focusing on the early stages of the Neolithic period, extending from the beginning of settled life to the period when village life based on food production was fully emerged in Şanlıurfa district. The primary objective of the project is archaeological surveys to make an inventory of settlements, camp sites, hunting grounds etc. dating to approximately between the 10th and 7th millennium BC. More importantly, to understand in detail the initial phase of the Neolithic period, spatially and chronologi- cally, by conducting extensive excavations at some of these settlements. Undoubtedly, it would be an integrative approach to evaluate all these findings within the natural environment of prehistoric societies. Therefore, a paleoenvironmental study is also planned. Within the scope of the project, in addition to these comprehensive archaeological researches, a cultural heritage study is carried out in order to protect and share the results with the public. Among the side outputs of the project are studies that will document the traditional village architecture in the region, traditional production and cultural values that are disappearing.
