Koskhoyuk Koskhoyuk is an ancient settlement located in the Niğde Bor District that has been inhabited for approximately 6,000 years. Evidence of its activity and productivity during the Roman period can be seen in a nearby pool dating back to the 1st century AD. The settlement spans approximately 80 meters in width and 15 meters in height. Archaeological excavations led by Dr. Uğur Silistreli in 1981 have revealed that Koskhoyuk is a significant Neolithic site in Central Anatolia, consisting of four distinct cultural layers. The mound at Koskhoyuk has yielded numerous artifacts made from clay, including statuettes of mother goddesses and various ceramics. The ceramics can be divided into two groups: monochrome and multi-color, with geometric shapes and animal figures featuring prominently. Stone foundations and adobe walls characterize the period of the settlement found in Koskhoyuk. During excavations, four skulls plastered with clay were also discovered. This practice of plastering skulls with clay dates back to 8000 BCE in the Middle East and was rediscovered at Koskhoyuk during the excavation. Koskhoyuk is located in an area rich in obsidian deposits and was an important center for trade with this material during the Chalcolithic Age
