The inhabitants of Köşk Höyük were part of a wider Neolithic network that included Aşıklı Höyük and Çatalhöyük. However, their artistic expression was distinct. Excavations have revealed relief-decorated pottery and small figurines that provide insight into their religious beliefs, often centered around fertility and the natural world.
The plastered skulls found here are particularly significant because they represent some of the most advanced examples in the Near East. By applying plaster over the bone, these ancient people "brought back" the dead, allowing the deceased to remain a visible part of the family unit. This practice indicates a society with a highly developed sense of history and lineage.
The mound also sits adjacent to the Roman Pool (Roma Havuzu) and the ancient city of Tyana. This geographical overlap shows that the area around Köşk Höyük has been a vital center of human life for nearly eight millennia, thanks to the abundant natural springs and fertile plains of Niğde.
