Where+is+Catal+Hoyuk?

**

Catal Hoyuk is in Southern Anatolia (which is in Turkey), the city dates back to 7500 BC in the lowest layers. Catal Hoyuk is located on the Konya Plain, southeast of the present - day city of Konya. The buried eastern settlement forms a mound which would have risen about 20 meters above the plain at the time it was inhabited. There is also a smaller settlement mound to the west, and a Byzantine settlement a few hundred meters to the east. The mound settlements were abandoned before the Bronze Age. A channel of the Carsamba once flowed between the two mounds and the settlement was built on alluvial clay, which might have been favorable for early agriculture.**
